Installation

Install via Cinnamon's Themes module in Cinnamon settings or download from Cinnamon Spices and unzip into your ~/.themes directory.

Select the theme as your Desktop, Controls and Window Borders in the Cinnamon Themes module.

To allow the GTK2, GTK3 and Metacity1 themes to apply to GUI apps running as root run this command in your terminal after installation to create a symlink to the theme in the local system theme directory.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/themes; sudo ln -s ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto /usr/local/share/themes/

Compatibility

This theme is compatible with Cinnamon versions 3.2.x, 3.4.x, 3.6.x, 3.8.x, 4.0.x, 4.2.x, 4.4.x, 4.6.x, 4.8.x, 5.0.x & 5.2.x

The GTK3 themes require GTK 3.18.x or 3.20.x+

Cinnamon Theme Font-Size

For Cinnamon version 4.6.x and later the Cinnamon theme's font characteristics van be set via changing the default font in Font Selection settings module available from the menu.

For users of older Cinnamon versions the theme includes an interactive bash script that allows end users to adjust the base font-size in the Cinnamon theme. This can be useful for users running Cinnamon on relatively high resolution displays with relatively small screen dimensions where the hard-coded theme default font-sizes are too small.

To access the tool open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T) and use the following command to make the script executable and launch it.

chmod +x ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_fontsize.sh && ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_fontsize.sh

If you are not happy with the end result simply run ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_fontsize.sh again to chose another option including the default

Cinnamon Stock Menu applet in Cinnamon 4.4.x and older

The app description area at the bottom of the stock cinnamon menu applet may not expand appropriately to fit the content in Cinnamon 4.4.x and older when text scaling factor is set > 1.

The theme includes an interactive bash script that allows end users toggle an adjustment of the cinnamon.css to mitigate this behaviour.

To access the tool open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T) and use the following command to make the script executable and launch it.

chmod +x ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_toggle_menufix.sh && ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_toggle_menufix.sh

If you are not happy with the end result simply run ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/adapta_toggle_menufix.sh again to revert.

Firefox fix

If you have problems seeing text on input fields in Firefox with any particular theme this problem can be solved by adding a ~/.mozilla/firefox/********.default/user.js file to your Firefox default profile including the line user_pref("widget.content.gtk-theme-override", "Adwaita"); and restarting Firefox.

This forces Firefox to use the GTK default Adwaita theme for rendering all website content.

The theme includes a helper script that creates the file with this content in the correct location. To access the tool open a terminal window and use the following command to make the script executable and launch it.

chmod +x ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/firefox_fix.sh && ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/scripts/firefox_fix.sh

minor typo in first paragraph of Cinnamon Theme Font-Size: "van be set," should be "can be set"

Ousman Touray-1 month ago

Hey, thank you for the beautiful theme. Sorry for the late and redundant question. But as a newbie (literally 10 mins into downloading LM) how do I set up the gadget for cpu util and other metrics? Having a hard time trying to figure this out.

Wong Ponjer-2 months ago

Thank you, I am very helped and really like this theme. Nice and simple. Cool

whatisyourname69-1 year ago

How can I get the panels to become transparent? Transparent Panels extension does not seem to work on Linux Mint 21.2. Any ideas?

Chris-1 year ago

I installed this theme on ubuntu server with the cinnamon desktop environment and it literally breaks the Themes button in the system settings and I cannot with any method change the theme anymore. I'm going to be reinstalling this lxc container and avoiding this theme unfortunately.

Great theme. I only wish there were an icon set that matched the color of turquoise used as the accent color :)

Excellent work...

Minessota Klei-3 years ago

Please update this theme to the mint-Y theme defaults from the new Linux Mint 20.2 release!

angelotux-3 years ago

wonderful and with the round edges it would be more beautiful and I do not understand why on cinnamon you can not put the round edges both at the top and at the bottom of the window maybe it is a cinnamon problem?

Secret-chest-3 years ago

Well, I prefer it without rounded corners. Also fullscreen will look awful

angelotux-3 years ago

for me the round edges give a modern effect

Arda Iskender-3 years ago

Detailed work, hard coded for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! How do i get that CPU, download, upload, memory and temp gadget? :P Cant seem to find it. Love the theme! Ps. Downloaded mint repo

Andrei Miculita-4 years ago

I've noticed a (probably unintended) change that this theme makes. It adds a small padding (like 1 or 2 px) to the top of Firefox windows (when the title bar is disabled). So while normally the tabs touch the edge of the screen (which makes it very easy to click on them), with this small padding it becomes a bit more difficult to click them.

Amazing theme! Thanks!

NerdsMaxx-4 years ago

Thanks for this theme!! I loved it!

TimmSkiller-4 years ago

This is so nice! The only place that for some reason doesn't use the theme that I have found so far is in the "Package Sources" GUI‌. I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia with Cinnamon desktop.

Steve M-4 years ago

Hi - from the readme above... To allow the GTK2, GTK3 and Metacity1 themes to apply to GUI apps running as root run this command in your terminal after installation to create symlinks to user themes in the system theme directory. sudo ln -s ~/.themes/* /usr/share/themes/

densha-4 years ago

Love this theme. Thanks for all the hard work. There's just one thing I would like to see changed. For the menu bar on the desktop, it is very difficult to see the light grey line that indicates a program is open. Can you change the color of the line to the theme color instead of a light grey line. Similar to how the default Mint theme does it. Thanks!

Steve M-4 years ago

Hi densha, thanks for the feedback. The theme selected color is used to highlight the currently focussed app or to indicate hover. I could potentially lighten the grey to increase visibility but I'd still want to maintain some way to visually differentiate open unfocussed apps from the current focussed app.

dstein-sketch-4 years ago

I love the subtlety of the theme. It's refreshing and nice. Thanks for the hard work!

What's your cursor theme please?

Steve M-5 years ago

From memory I think the one in the screen shot is the breeze-cursor-theme. If you are using Mint / Ubuntu the package is available from the regular repos.

Great theme! Thank you.

Good theme

Nikolas Hagestein-5 years ago

Hey great Theme i like it a lot. Thank you for your work!

anupamsaini98-5 years ago

Great theme but theme does not apply to file manager opened with root privileges (I use nemo / nautilus). It burns the eye on seeing a completely white file explorer when opened as root.

Steve M-5 years ago

As per the readme...... To allow the GTK2, GTK3 and Metacity1 themes to apply to GUI apps running as root run this command in your terminal after installation to create symlinks to user themes in the system theme directory. sudo ln -s ~/.themes/* /usr/share/themes/

Hartmut Doering-5 years ago

Nice, clean, flat Theme. - To get the applet icons fit perfect on 2k monitors in Mint 19.1 with the new Panel Bar I changed the icon size to 22px till this is taken care of. - Also Papirus-Adapta-Nokta Icons go very well with this Theme

Vernon-5 years ago

Hey, I really like your theme I just have some questions. Is it normal that the volume icon is not centered? It's a little to the right. Also, the software manager is white, is that normal too?

Steve M-5 years ago

Software Manager or Synaptic? Synaptic runs as root - to apply spice added themes globally you need to run ' sudo ln -s ~/.themes/* /usr/share/themes/ ' in a termianl as per the read-me. I'm not seeing any offset in the volume icon - that might be down to your icon theme - or maybe you have a spacer in you applets?

Vernon-5 years ago

Sorry, my bad. I don't speak english very well so I don't know how it's called in english but yeah, I run that on the terminal and now it's fixed. But the thing with the volume icon persist. Don't know what could make that happen. Whats a spacer? In my applets I only have Icing Task Manager, Cinnamenu and Color Picker. And when changing to the default theme the volume icon goes back to the center and a little higher (all without changing icon theme). Could it be because I'm on LM 19.1? Anyways, it's not a big problem, I'm just wondering. Your theme is the best!

Steve M-5 years ago

No worries - maybe you should post it as an issue with screenshots so I can see if I can work out what is going on. I'm using 19.1 as-well. https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-themes/issues BTW I can take very little credit for the theme - I've only really added support from Cinnamon 4 in Mint 19.1, and kept it working for users on Mint 18.x - the hard work was done by the original developer who sadly isn't working on the project any more.

Vernon-5 years ago

Done! Oh, I see. But still thanks for making it available for us! I'm really happy with this theme.

Steve M-5 years ago

Cheers - I see what you mean now - it's the Media Key OSD (On Screen Display) and you are right i't not centred properly. Easily fixed. Thanks for reporting!

Vernon-5 years ago

Cool! It's fixed. Thanks for all the help!

Seth Bergman-6 years ago

Small typo: `chmod +x ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/firefox_fix.sh && ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/firefox_fix.sh` ==> I just removed `/cinnamon/` after the &&.

Steve M-6 years ago

Thanks - fixed.

Raul Cote-6 years ago

Just found it. Just in case anyone wants to add the shadow. On cinnamon.css file add the following class: .switcher-preview-backdrop ie: .switcher-preview-backdrop { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.6); } Save changes and while doing alt-tab only the selected app will be lighted.

Raul Cote-6 years ago

Great theme. Adapta Themes are my favourite on Cinnamon, my only complain is that cinnamon "window preview" alt-tab is a very great feature. It put a shadow on the screen and only light the app where you are alt-tabbing, it makes very easy and fast to go through. Adapta Theme don't put the shadows so make this alt-tab option kind of useless as it's more difficult to see where you are. I hope it can be fixed on future updates, it's a great missing detail.

Stephan Helas-5 years ago

I miss this feature as well!!

Minessota Klei-6 years ago

Awesome theme!

Quentin DANJOU-6 years ago

Just a very big thanks for that awesome and full theme! I can't believe I'm the first to leave a comment here. Please continue to support Cinnamon! Work on Mint 19 - Cinnamon 3.8.8 Small bug, it seems that the size of the text in the calendar is a little bit small compared to the given screen capture given on the project repository.
