Minty Colors is a chameleon theme for Cinnamon. It can change colors according to the current GTK theme, current wallpaper or a user defined color.

Minty Colors will automatically create a file .minty-colors.conf in the home folder on first launch. You can edit it and set your preferences, for example, to set the color, there are different configurations, e.g.- automatic = derive from the gtk theme, wallpaper = according to your wallpaper (uses imagemagick to get color), other = use user defined color. The color can also be defined in the config file.

If Minty Colors fails to get the color from the GTK theme or wallpaper, the user defined color will be used instead.

After installing, start the Minty Colors background process from the menu just once. Minty Colors starts at login and whenever it detects a wallpaper or GTK theme change, it will change the color according to your preferences. You need to set "minty-colors" as your Cinnamon theme.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:satyajit-happy/themes

I'd very much like to try this theme. But ppa still is corrupt and which install.sh script do you mean?

Hi! I've been using Minty ever since I installed Linux Mint 13 half a year ago. Now I've upgraded it to 14, but it seems both your themes (regular Minty and Colors) have changed quite a bit. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what I'm talking about: [link]. The above panel is LM13 with Minty (in which I changed the default color manually) and the one below is LM14 with Minty Colors (however, as far as I can see, the same issues are present in regular Minty). I'm using a two-panel layout.

1. The color highlight is not aligned with the panel in LM14. Also, I'd like to know how I could change the layout of the icons back to the one used in LM13 (I prefer the tighter grouping)

2. The color highlight on the right isn't aligned with the panel, but over there it's a few pixels short, rather than long, as it is on the left.

3. The color highlight in the Window list also isn't aligned with the panel.

I tried to fix all these things myself, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Can you help me solve these issues?

Is there a way to increase the width of the cinnamon menu? After switching to this theme, the mint menu is rather narrow and some text gets cut off: [link]. Other themes seem to have wider menus, and your screenshot on deviantart also shows a wider menu.

Hello. Is there any way to remove this? I've tried removing it several ways but nothing seems to work. I've removed all the files and things to run Minty Colours but it still shows on my applications. Please respond to me asap!

I've tried that in terminal many times and tried to remove it manually. Minty pops right back up...
