The cinnamon theme is really beautiful, however the window borders do not work (tried to download the additional muffin theme too, no luck, it just shows up in the theme selector but changes nothing when selected), and the controls do not show up in the theme selector. The instructions you linked are just a thread with a few dozens of general Linux Mint tips and tricks, couldn't find anything about fixing window borders. If you need any info I'd be happy to provide it.

DE: Cinnamon 4.4.8
WM: Mutter (Muffin)
Distro: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia x86_64

Thanks for doing this :) There's no other theme quite like this one, everyone is doing flat stuff these days. I'll try and see if I can fix it myself, and if I find something I'll make a pull request.

I was looking through the github repo, I see metacity-theme-3 was copied from another project and worked, but I think the WM was actually using metacity-theme-1, since the one you're using is referencing some files that are not even in your folder. I deleted metacity-theme-3 and it works, but for the future it would probably be best if there was one.

I had it [DarkCold] installed under MATE a few days ago, decided to try Sabayon Linux -- wasn't that good -- reinstalled LM MATE, put the theme in:

/usr/share/themes

And it's not showing up at all in the Appearance applet...I even tried putting it in:

~/.themes

Same outcome, it's not showing up at all now.

What the hell is going on..?!

I'm currently using this theme on Linux Mint 17.2 with the Cinnamon desktop, and it doesn't seem to have an icon set for the "controls" theme setting. I don't know whether it's missing some sort of identifier that says where the controls icons are, or something else, but it would be great if you could add that. =D Thanks!

Just made an account to say thanks mate.

This is really cool. I never change my theme because I cant make my own gnome themes very well and no on ever seems to make themes I like.

But this is awesome! I have to ask though, sorry if this is a terrible question. How do I go about changing the Blue to any colour of my choice? I looked in GTT and also system settings also colour picker etc but I couldnt seem to figure it out. Thanks.
