Amazing theme. It definitely needs a custom colour of your and to be darkened a little bit. And definitely use the papyrus icon theme. Amazing once that is done. Also love the choice of wallpaper so I use it now!

Love it, thanks. To those that want to change theme colour from dark blue to a colour of your choice: 1. Go here /home/(USERNAME)/.themes/Faded-Dream/cinnamon 2. Make a backup copy of the file "cinnamon.css" in case something goes wrong. 3. Edit the contents of the file "cinnamon.css" (right click -> open with text editor) a) go to search -> replace b) search for: "#5b73c4" (this is the hex for the blue that is being used) c) replace with: "#_______" (after the hash put the hex for the colour you want, for example I'm using #b74c4a which is the red that the mint-y-dark-red theme uses) (you can use a hex colour picking website to find a colour you like) d) click on replace all! e) save and exit 4. In system settings reselect the faded dream theme. To change the menu transparency go to line 212 of "cinnamon.css" (should be the "menu" section of the code) and change 0.50 to something higher (less transparent/darker, eg 0.75) or lower (more transparent/lighter, eg 0.40) (translated from Germuss's comment)

thank you! . In my case I changed it to green [#92b372] although the button to activate-deactivate the network connection is still blue.

This is just what I was looking for - thank you :) Like others, I have changed the transparency to 0.85.

¡Excelente tema! También tuve la molestia de que era demasiado transparente el menu. Para el que quiera modificarlo se hace de la siguiente manera (yo tengo Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon): 1- Instalamos el tema y lo colocamos con el editor de temas 2- Abrimos el archivo cinnamon.css ubicado en "/home/NOMBRE-DE-USUARIO/.themes/Faded-Dream/cinnamon/" (recordar que .themes es una carpeta oculta) 3- Buscamos en el archivo (usualmente usando CTRL + F) la palabra ".menu" (SOLO esa palabra y nada más) Deberiamos ver algo como esto: .menu { color: #f0f0f0; border: 1px solid #202020; border-radius: 3px; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50); } 4- Modificamos el cuarto parámetro de "background-color" (es el 0.50) por el valor que queramos (0 = 100% transparente, 1 = 0% transparente. Por ejemplo, yo lo puse en 0.85) 5- Guardamos el archivo (usualmente usando CTRL + S) 6- Presionamos ALT + F2 escribimos la letra 'r' y presionamos ENTER (esto es para reiniciar cinnamon y que aplique los cambios) 7- Listo, ¡a disfrutar! Espero le sirva a alguien, ¡saludos :D !

Thanks for this theme looks good. The only problem was that I found the menu transparency a bit too much for my old eyes when it open over certain windows, so I went in and edited it from 0.5 to 0.85.

Yeah the menu can be a tad transparent, even for me, I just really like the aesthetic :D

I like this theme, thanks for creating it. I'm not experienced at all with editing themes, but would like to lessen the transparency as merriander mentioned. Could you point me to the line/locations to make that change? Thanks!

Line 212. Replace background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50) on background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)

Thanks! Forgot to make this change until after upgrading to Mint 20.2. Germuss' post helped too. For English only speakers like myself, the file to edit is: /home/(USERNAME)/.themes/Faded-Dream/cinnamon/cinnamon.css
