Brighter Skin like in Linux Mint available?

#1 Post by stefan-franz »

Hello,
in AV Linux is dark skin, and a grey skin.
Is it somehow possible to get a more brighter skin like Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon? Or is the the Cinnamon Desktop available with AV Linux / MX Linux)

In "MX Package Installer" - Popular Apps tab - DE section Cinnamon is available.

There are dozens of XFCE4 themes in the MX Repos, if you just want a different or brighter theme use the MX Package Installer and search 'themes'..

I do not test AV Linux with other Desktop Environments, if you install Cinnamon or KDE or whatever I can't guarantee that everything will show up or that the Desktop Conky will work as expected. If you have already installed Cinnamon then at the top of the lightDM Login screen should be a session button where you can select it.

You can also go to anyone of hundreds of sites for themes. Try https://xfce-look.org
