This seems to be a nice looking theme, but it needs an update, doesn't work properly on Mint 19.3 Cinnamon

I will mark this theme as inactive. Just came back to this site recently.
Reason for inactive:
- Linux Mint has officially release their own dark theme (same case for gnome with adwaita dark)
- Time constraint due to my current job

Hi, using X-mod and X-mod flat (customized). I would like that these might cahnge the context menus, main panels and sidebars of Firefox from Gray color to another dark color (eg: brown).
Also. I like the window border icons of BSM Dark theme. Look at them.
Thanks!

I've been using mint for a while and I'm surprised I just found this, the only problem I have is that the window borders are of the same colour as the default mint-x, the buttons are white as intended but the border itself stays the same. Is there a way to manually change this? thanks in advance.

I've fixed border color for some of the controls in GTK3. It's available in version 1.1.

for button border, both GTK2 and GTK3 for this theme are using images located at
gtk-2.0/images/button
gtk-3.0/borders/button

I purposely leave window border to be black.

As for button, are you referring to GTK2 or GRK3?

I'll look into it once I got time. Hopefully it's just a tweak in css.

I usually use a light theme but, this is a really good dark theme. Even includes the Cinnamon theme. Nice work.

One 'problem...'

Open 'System-Settings' and look at the main page. The icon fonts color is black. I believe they would look better white. Can you fix this?

Everything else is stunning!
Voted good.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Still couldn't figure out which part in css that needs to be change for that.

Thanks for bringing this up :)
