N&M Games Cinnamon Theme

A Cinnamon theme with the style of N&M Games.

Composition

This theme was made by modifying the color values, textures and margin/padding of:

Will it work?

This theme has been designed and tested on the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint 21. Therefore, it will certainly work there.
It works best on Linux Mint 21 and higher, and on Linux Mint 20.3 as well, although some small features may not work 100% properly.
Success is not granted on other distributions. As the README progresses, I assume that you use Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition).

Installing

You can install the theme by cloning the repository into your ~/.local/share/themes folder:

git clone https://github.com/NM-Games/cinnamon-theme NM-Games

On Linux Mint version 21 and older, themes are normally stored in ~/.themes.

If the themes folder does not exist, launch the Themes application to automatically generate it.
When cloned, open Themes and choose NM-Games for Applications and Desktop (on Linux Mint 21 or higher).

If you use another version than Linux Mint 21 or higher, it might still work, although we cannot guarantee so. The places where NM-Games must be selected might be different as well.

Updating

When you see a new commit on this repository, you can update the theme by pulling the repository first:

git pull

...and then, load another theme in the Themes application, and finally, load NM-Games again.
If you see no changes, you can try Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart Cinnamon. Warning: this force-quits all open applications, be aware!

Features

When you installed the theme correctly, it will:

  • give your taskbar/panel and it's menus N&M Games colors;
  • give windows N&M Games styled title bars and close buttons;
  • give the radio buttons, checkboxes, switches and buttons another look.

Not included

The following things are not included in the theme, but can be done as well to give it the full N&M Games look:

  • The N&M Games font family, Balsamiq Sans. You can download that here;
  • The N&M Games icon for the bottom left menu. You can download that here;
  • Folder icons. We recommend to set that to Mint-Y-Dark-Blue (Mint 21 and lower) or Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint 21.1) to blend in with the N&M Games colors.

We hope you enjoy the N&M Games Linux Theme!
