We have already talked about Cinnamon on several occasions, which, like Gnome Shell, it is very easy to customize and modify (at least the subject) since it makes use of CSS y JS.
Like the Shell de Gnome, Cinnamon has its own website Themes, Extensions y applets called Spices (I guess spices in French: D). Even though there are still few options (some very interesting by the way), gradually more have been added and I am sure that soon we will have a huge repository to further customize our desktop. For now I leave you how my current desktop looks with Cinnamon:
What are we seeing there? Well basically 3 things:
- An applet to display the list of windows as icons only(includes preview).
- An extension for show a CoverFlow when switching windows with [Alt] + [Tab].
- A topic called elegance.
You can find more customization options at this link.
Where is the sandy? I wanna fuck him with the cinnamon xD trailer
When it allows me to do EVERYTHING that KDE allows me, then there we talk 😉
Cinnamon can do everything that Gnome allows it (and if you hurry me a little I could tell you a little more) .. It doesn't do everything that KDE can, as it is still very young, but it does everything I need. By the way, can you in KDE create a theme using just images and CSS3?
CSS3 no, but XML yes 😉
CSS is still much easier than XML :)
Let's see ... you always take it where it is not.
This is not a competition ... I just said that when Cinnamon gives me so many options with simple access, that it is as configurable as KDE with simple clicks, then they let me know, and BTW ... this was aimed at dwarf 😀
Well, look at you, I have configured everything with Cinnamon-Settings and Gnome-Control-Center at the click of a click .. =)
Nor can we compare more than 10, I think 15 years to be exact, of KDE development with 6 months of cinnamon? I am still impressed by the achievement ...
+1000

I would give you -1000 instead
¿Desde Linux Have Mint written the desktop environment? You cannot compare KDE, or in this case Gnome 3, with Cinammon. Desde Linux The only thing Mint does is adapt the code to its needs (make it lighter for stability, and put a Windows 95 style bar on it 😀 ). Now, naturally, come all the environment customization processes: Applets, themes, extensions, etc. KDE, Gnome, XCFE and even the Unity fork have had the same process. Is the great achievement in any case Gnome 3?
But hey, if we kill Gnome Shell for its low customization, and for adding it to measure (for taking users as testers) and with Cinammon, which is a touch-up of this, if we classify it as a great achievement?
The great development of this fork and its orientation to stability is surprising. But the rest is work done by others.
Look at what detail, the bar at Windows 95 as you say it also has it KDE.
Those are the advantages that the OpenSource, take what is already done and adapt it to what we need, do not even try, compare Gnome Shell with Cinnamon is the same as if we do it with Unity and I think that we have already made the differences very clear.
First, I think that the only ones that have taken users as testers have been those of Ubuntu, as Tina Toledo told you. Linux Mint does not enforce Cinnamon as the default desktop, but provides it for whoever wants to use it and why not? serve as a tester as you say. And please, Cinnamon may have come out of the Gnome Shell, but clearly it has been breaking apart to the point that one day, it will be much more than just a fork.
By the way TDE, tell me seriously, what do you have against Mint and Cinnamon?
LOL! Oh elav….! If we already know TDE he likes to walk on flip flops, but look elav, so you can relax and forget a little about «Labarritaestilowindows95» I want to share with you a video of Steve Jobs featuring nothing more and nothing less than (drum roll)!UNITY!
Nano y elav, the first version of Cinnamon It was launched on December 22 of last year so it is still in its third month of life.
On the other hand, TDE, Cinnamon is a GNOME Shell Killer to the same extent as Unity. In fact all three are exactly the same (forks that run on GNOME 3) with parallel development ... but if I remember correctly Canonical was the first to delete GNOME-Shell deUbuntu to include Unity default.
Regarding the configuration problems of Cinnamon... well, as I said before, it is still two months old and despite the slippage of version 1.3 the matter looks good. This past week Jane silber, the CEO of Canonical, in addition to taking a village bath, which they already need so much, he said that they are working due to the lack of configurability of Unity, so in that aspect it seems to me that the two forks (Cinnamon y Unity) should work on it.
As for applets for Cinnamon: well ... the truth is that I no longer miss anything from the old desktop and, as you can see, I have been able to configure it to my liking:

What Spices I have activated?
LEFT
1.-Cinnamon Menu to which I modified the icon and put one of Linux Mint.
2.-Separator. This applet I copy it five times, rename them (including the metadata.json data) and apply it as if they were five different applets.
3.-Places for quick access to the different folders and favorite places.
4.-Panel Launcher, Like elav
CENTER
1.-Windows Icon List
RIGHT
1.-Sound
2.-Network Manager
3.-System Tray
4.-Cinnamon Calendar
5.-Log Out y Power Off
The theme that I have activated is the Medium
By the way ... here is the video of Jobs:

I love your desk Tina (very Mac * - *) ... Now I go and copy it hehehehe ..
GOD!!! Unity is NextSTEP with the dock on the left WTF? 0
I'm going to tell you a story elav:
Back in the early 90's, my father gave me a Macintosh Quadra 605 with System 7 and since then I have never stopped using one Manzana
That night elav I used, at my 12 years, for the first time an operating system UNIX: NeXT STEP.
Today…. many years after that, Canonical wants to sell me the idea of a «new desktop paradigm» and there is no lack of the «fanboy» user who, on the edge of fanaticism, disparages the appearance of other desks because they have a resemblance to «something old». Nil novi sub sole ...
This resemblance of Unity with NeXT STEP I comment more than once on the blog of Very but for some "strange reason" they all passed.
That is why I believe that users of Ubuntu which usually refer to Jobs on bad terms they must first look at their Unity, remember that it was «inspired» (Ah, because Canonical is inspired by ... never steals ideas!) in NeXT STEP and bite your tongue well before commenting on something. And so that they do not crucify me I clarify that I do not mean all the users of Ubuntu, only what they usually do.
AMEN !!!
It would be better if it was standard as in KDE4
On the other hand, I think the opposite. Personally, I don't use KDE because it brings many more things than I use ... for many that is its attraction, but well, in my case it is not 🙂
For me it is better to be able to install the extensions that I want, that is, it is important that the extensions are well documented, perhaps with a demonstration video, etc ...
How do I make the windows in Gnome Shell look like this cover flow type when using Alt + Tab?
I enter the page where the gnome shell extensions are installed and Coverflow Alt-tab tells me that it is incompatible with my gnome version .. I don't understand what happens, I have version 3.2.1
Please Help!!
It is the browser you use, try firefox
I tried .. that is, debian has its own firefox called Icewasel and it tells me the following:
This extension is incompatible with your version of GNOME.
I do not understand what happens
The strangest thing is that I always install the other extensions from that browser and they never give me problems, only that specific extension: S
Well, we are not talking about the same page, because in this case the article is about Cinnamon extensions, but I just tried Gnome-Shell and Firefox 10.0.2 and it works perfectly for me.
The difficulty or not of creating themes, only depends on what language you have started.
I'm already losing the desire to try Cinnamon, too bad because it looked good
Today is a beautiful Saturday, I think that every comment of this type, as El Arenoso says, goes to / dev / null
And then I am the one who tolerate badly.
Fuck don't pay me what happens to you
If it is precisely because of that, because nothing is wrong with me, because today is a beautiful and happy day that I will not pay attention to your comment, where once again it seems that they are opening your mouth and forcing you to eat things you do not want. Did you see in the Post something that said: Now Courage has to install Cinnamon, and put an extension that does CoverFlow? No, so ...
Ah shit, that is extension, so the problem is not with Cinnamon, but with that macaque extension.
Damn well, so that nothing happens to you, you are pretty bad.
Hahahaha Are you blind? But if I made it very clear in the post .. That happens to you for not reading 😛
Courage I already know what your problem must be…. Damn, you're from Murcia right? … LOL!!!!!
I'm from Madrid, if you don't know anything
help me understand why can't I install the Cover-Flow extension in gnome shell 3.2.1 with firefox?
