Will it be available for download so can test it? |
|
@Initu-Castilhos No it can't be downloaded anywhere. It's part of Cinnamon and I'm not developing it as anything else at the moment. A couple screenshots of the new dialog styling.

Thanks for the reply! |

Will it have the gtk theme and icons too? |
|
@Initu-Castilhos No. Cinnamon doesn't include Gtk and icon themes by default. This is just the default cinnamon theme which gets used when you install Cinnamon in distros outside of Mint. Many of those distros don't have a curated Cinnamon version like Mint does. |
Modal dialogs will now use the .dialog style class so themes that are not up-to-date with the new changes will receive styling from the default theme.
This sets us up to properly track the property so we do not have to manually set and unset the insensitive pseudo class. This will probably have a couple side effects which will be addressed in further commits.
Many applets use the system-status-icon style class for the panel icon. Make sure we are setting the proper size for this.
This is needed to show the specific panel being modified from the panel settings
Use the same hover colors as used in other menus. Add some spacing between the apps and categories columns. Add some spacing and padding in the favorites bar
Adds support for :default and :destructive-action buttons in modal dialogs. Puts them to use in the confirm and polkit dialogs. Also improves the accent background color.
Add support for event color strips and recolor some of the event titles
There was a bit of fallout from linking a widgets reactivity to it's sensitive state. Clean that up here and improve the look a bit
Reuse some of the same styling we use in the power applet for the currently selected and :insensitive item
There isn't enough room for the wider buttons when a notification contains an image. The text just ends up being ellipsized. Reduce the padding to give the button text more room
Update to the new style and use a larger border radius on modal dialogs
No real need for this and in some cases ends up being drawn outside of the switcher background. Just remove it. Clean up the alt-tab theming while at it.
With 4 rounded corners the menus look better when they aren't touching the panel or screen edge. Using a margin will create some separation
Use the Cinnamon icon instead of the Linux Mint icon for the start menu applet. Makes more sense for the default theme

A convenience object we will be using to place things like OSD's on screen

Can you make the theme's cinnamon.css file available? |
|
@Initu-Castilhos In this case it wouldn't do much good. There are actual code changes in the branch to redesign some things. Without those the theme won't work the same. You need to actually build and use the branch. |
Ok! |
Gives a new design with the OSD placed at the bottom of the screen. The styling of the dot indicators is fully themable and can be made to look however a theme chooses
Gives the OSD a similar style and placement to the new workspace OSD. Uses a new style class name so themes that don't yet have support will still get styling. Also adds a new barLevel object that supports volumes above 100 but is still unused for now

In the source the theme is written in SASS. In the OS once installed you can see the CSS in /usr/share/cinnamon/theme. |
Replaces the very outdated default cinnamon theme with something more up-to-date. May still be a few issues here and there that more testing/using will turn up. A few things are also on the roadmap to update style wise. This will set the base for those to come next.
