Not a week has passed and we already have the Cinnamon version 1.3.1 which fixes a bunch of bugs for the benefit of its users 

Let's see some of the most relevant changes in this version:

  • Easiest way to grab and drag applets:
  • Panel zones now cover the entire panel. In Cinnamon 1.3 the applets only used the space they needed, leaving empty areas in the panel that did not react to drag and drop.
  • The areas where the applets will be dragged are now highlighted.
  • Now we have the option to restore the applets to their default settings.
  • Text scale factor now uses a wheel button instead of a scale control.
  • Slightly improved design.
  • Smoother notifications.
  • Fixed Battery Applet.
  • Unnecessary warnings have been removed from the logs.
  • The Typos applet was fixed in the systray.
  • Fixed a bug that displayed larger icons in the systray.

There have also been some adjustments that affect themes. The panel for example now has 3 areas (left, center, right) in which some issues may be affected for Cinnamon. We can modify this by means of a pseudo-class called "dnd" inside the CSS.

[code] #panelLeft: dnd {
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba (255,0,0,0.05);
background-gradient-end: rgba (255,0,0,0.2);
}

#panelCenter: dnd {
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba (0,255,0,0.05);
background-gradient-end: rgba (0,255,0,0.2);
}

#panelRight: dnd {
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba (0,0,255,0.05);
background-gradient-end: rgba (0,0,255,0.2);
}
