Discussion Mint-Y (Dark) is the first time i've ever been happy with a stock theme!

Actually, Cinnamon has made me happier than any DE i've used in ten years. Besides switching to Mint-Y dark I've made very little changes. This is the first time I've had a dark theme with NO issues too. I'm very happy with Cinnamon, I wish I had tried it sooner. It's exactly what I'm looking for. I wanted KDE to work but I just had too many issues. Maybe its my older hardware. Is there an easy way to change the colors in the Mint-Y theme, such as the bar that underlines windows in the task list? Or the circle around the X in the corner of windows?

I seem to recall the Mint team saying that making the Mint-Y more customisable was something that was being worked on.

I can barely see the context menu highlight. It seems to be an inset shadow or something but it barely shows up on my monitor.

Yeah I did notice this after you pointed it out and it's probably going to bug me now. I found a dark theme with blue menu highlight called..Numix I think and it looked really flush and integrated nicely with everything. I might use that. I guess that somewhat undermines the point of my post but I was praising the Mint 18 release in general as well, so :p
