  • Cinnamon Shell Bugfixes: Fine-tuned core shell elements to prevent alignment issues and maintain rigid grid balance.

This theme deserves all the prase, no complaints. And I see why it works in green... But j.s. if anyone does this in a mint / cyan / teal/ etc please let me know!

Thank you! I'm glad you checked out the icon pack too. I'm also working on GTK-2.0 and 3.0, although they haven't been merged yet. Please check them out when they're available!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm planning to create a GTK theme to match later, though it will take some time. In the meantime, I highly recommend using the "Dedicated to Hacker" icon theme with this shell theme — they look great together! Icons: https://www.pling.com/s/Gnome/p/2332618
