New user files are instantiated from /etc/skel, so when you set a theme, you need to copy the relevant stuff to /etc/skel and that will be copied to the new user.
Done, but for whatever reason, Nemo does not automatically generate new entries for the new user's Documents, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
Hi, if you are using MX-Snapshot in my experience you don't want to have the files:
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and
~/.config/user-dirs.locale in /etc/skel/.config... It seems if they are present the usual XDG User Directory set is not created, but if they are not in /etc/skel/.config these directories will be created, it seems counter-intuitive but I think most likely 'xdg-user-dirs-update' wants to run when a new User is created but if it sees that it's config files are already present then it doesn't create the User Directories.. *Note this was my experience with XFCE4 anyway, Cinnamon may be different..
@Adrian or @dolphin_oracle will know much better what the particulars of this are..
Did that, but Nemo is still not setting up the home folders for the new user.

Hmmm,
Are they created if you manually run this in a Terminal?
If this command succeeds in creating them at least we'll know the underlying xdg bits and pieces are there..

Actually I seemed to have fixed the issue. I removed a bookmarks file from .config/gtk3.0/ and it seemed to have fixed it.
Now it looks like I could finally successfully create an "OEM" live ISO after making the XFCE session hidden in an auxiliary folder. Testing it now.

I like the theme you selected. The window decor isn't quite my taste personally but using a dark theme gets a +1 from me. And I love the wallpaper, rich in cinnamaldehyde.
Icon placement on the desktop and the default menu items seem pretty good too.

21.1.3 update coming soon. New ISO will ditch the old "mx" user and the live session will be the standard demo session. Installer will allow you to create a new user with the desktop theme intact. Nemo home folder bug fixed for new users. A few tweaks to the desktop items as well.

Just installed in the vm and only setup a new user then updated/upgraded the system. Haven't poked around yet. Need to tweak the vm a little to get the video driver sorted.
