From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize? (lemmy.world)

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

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

Damn, that was a shame. Worth a try.

I am not sure on what I'm going to say, but then it's possible that Cinnamon only allows you to do it through theme customisation. So one of the things that you could do is to look for Cinnamon spices (I think that's how it calls its themes?) with the words "small" and "title bar".

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.

If you're considering Xfce, there's also Mate (the one that I use). Mint has rather good support to it, and it's basically GNOME 2 being updated by another team.

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