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.

Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.

Mine died. $12,000 to replace. It’s insane!!

It is said men have two (2) deaths. The first is physical. The second is when your influence in the world is no longer felt and your name has been spoken for the very last time.

As the great author Terry Pratchet has proclaimed, “No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away…”

So it is in that vein in which my use of the word “immortal” was intended. Immortal was used in a purposefully exaggerated way to impress upon the reader the great significance and glory of the discoverer in making such a discovery.

My comment was intended in a poetic light, rather than logically or scientifically.

3.2 to 5 liters a day. Hope I did that calculation correctly.

Nine to fourteen cans of cola a day is the limit. Eek, I’ve probably done that when I was a young programmer! Hope it doesn’t catch up to me. :(

Man I wish NASA (or some private pioneer) would send an archeology team (human or robot) to find evidence of previous life. Like dinosaurs or something. If you discovered that, you’d be immortal.

In the SW USA in summer it can get 117F (47C) and let me tell you, my dude, 100% cotton is still hot as hell.

I don’t know this for sure, but to me it seems like the whole suit and tie and jacket thing was a northern European tradition and eventually an eastern USA tradition where it’s cold. That shit don’t work in the desert, and those who continue to claim “professionalism” and maintain such stupid customs are fools, in my opinion.

I’m not middle eastern but those dudes have the correct answer to the desert. I really wish the thawb would catch on in the Sonoran Desert of the southwest USA.

What culture says “no worries”? I’ve heard it so much I thought it universal by now.

I would LOVE the house slipper bit. I’ve suggested it so many times. Wife and kids just won’t go for it. Wife says it’s rude to ask a guest to take off their shoes. I disagree but she just can’t see my point or view. If you want to enter my house, show respect and take off your shoes to keep my house clean.

Ah. I remember that. Good show.
