Hi @the-allanc

What a fabulous "mix in" you have crated here. It easily solves one of my biggest gripes with Cinnamon (especially) when using a dark theme.

Do you know what theme CSS parameters need to be adjusted to change window corners? I would like either 4 "sharp" corners or 4 rounded corners. [ Alternatively, diagonally opposite corners could be rounded and "sharp" such as what Android calls "Leaf" ]

The two top rounded corners and two "sharp" bottom corners looks like a complete design disaster to me.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

First, this is a great piece of work to make Mint 21.1 more usable. Thanks!

I added this to my css, to better match the theme that I was using in Mint 19.3 which provided a thin, theme-colored border on the active window, which I find to be very helpful, and I thought that you may like it:

decoration:not(:backdrop) {
  border: 1px solid @active_window_bg_color;
  background: gray;
}
decoration {
  border: 1px solid gray;
  background: gray;
}

Finally Cinnamon is back to its unobtrusive useful self.
Too bad it takes a patch to get there.

Would you mind publishing to cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com with the changes merged into relevant themes?
It could be good to have a set with plain black(-ish) titles.

And regardless of the above; please add a sponsor button or similar. I owe you a beer.

This is more a documentation thing, than anything to do with the code, which I love.

Any chance you could publish a list of valid colors? For example, I tried "dark blue", and that didn't work. ;-) Thanks! (newbie here!)

Or, could I somehow put in the hex code of a color?

Thanks so much for this. It is amazing to me that Mint hasn't addressed these issues. Although it works great with Mint-Y, Mint-Y doesn't do what I want because the buttons have no different background and blend into everything else. Mint-X does meet my needs, but your css doesn't really do much with Mint-X except change the buttons. Is there any chance something like your code could be modified to work with Mint-X to change the titlebar focus background?
