    Mint 17 is pretty much like Windows also

    This is what I don't get. That plain, boring, dull, lifeless grey background in Mint. Give it a bit of sparkle, guys...

    bigseb, Actually, I like the dull stuff but the reason for is my eyes. You know Microsoft had default High contrast themes but have they never include Low contrast themes. Don't get me wrong I would love to use more vibrant themes, some of those themes are neat. I did use Linux mint for awhile but I crashed it. One problem with mint, it wouldn't remember the screen resolution setting, it keep reverting back to the default.

    I'd love to see Glass done right on a Linux window manager. I found this link where somebody was messing with it. But I haven't heard anything more. Edit: I messed with it a bit but didn't try too hard since I only have Mint in a VM. The screen shots look good though.
