Linux Mint cuts slice of 'Victoria' as 21.2 beta lands with dash of fresh Cinnamon
Small cosmetic touches like this are welcome and have helped Mint retain a clean, muted, businesslike appearance, while upstream Ubuntu and GNOME seem to be getting more colorful than ever – which isn't a bad thing in itself, but can be visually overwhelming.
The author is an increasingly grumpy old git, whose shortsightedness is not improving with age. As such, we long for the complete banishment of trendy flat UIs. We would welcome a return to skeuomorphic, fake-3D buttons, scrollbars and other controls, but perhaps that is no longer feasible as upstream projects move to newer versions of Gtk and other toolkits that have removed support for such things.
The new gThumb UI was adopted. It uses headerbars and buttons instead of toolbars and menubars. It's slightly less discoverable for newcomers but it looks very clean and remains quite intuitive. To pick a specific example, since there is already an edition of Mint which comes with the MATE desktop, we want to see the MATE System Monitor replace the CSD-blighted GNOME one in the Cinnamon edition too.
