Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I’ve tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?

How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.

There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can’t seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.

When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.

How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.

~$ ll ~/.themes
drwxrwxr-x  5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
drwxrwxr-x  7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/

So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn’t notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.

I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don’t list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a “theme” impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??

Still couldn’t find anything in Cinnamon Spices. Oh well.

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I don’t understand what that means.

Font size did not affect change.

Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.

Tried. No go. It doesn’t change with the font size of the title bar.

Taco Bell bean & cheeese burrito used to be 0.99 not too long ago. Now it’s 2.50. A box a oreos at the grocery store was 2.49, not its 6.49 (and thr package holds half the cookies now!) Crazy.

I understand things are cooling off. But that just means the prices won’t continue to rise so fast. The prices aren’t going to come down I don’t think.
