My personal dotfiles for Linux Mint (Cinnamon). Primarily for my own use — pushed here as a backup and for reference.

Overview

This is a snapshot of my home directory configs on Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop. It covers the shell, terminal, GTK theming, file manager, panel applets, and a handful of other utilities I use daily.

Installation

This is a personal backup, not a theme installer. Copy what you actually need.

git clone https://github.com/fiveclankers/Mint.git

# Back up first
cp -r ~/.config ~/.config.bak

# Example: copy just the kitty config
cp Mint/home/cat/.config/kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty.conf

Go through each file manually and apply only what makes sense for your setup. GTK themes and icons go into ~/.themes/ and ~/.icons/ respectively.

---

Notes

• .gtkrc-2.0 and .gtkrc-xfce control GTK2 appearance — relevant if you use any GTK2 apps.
• variety.conf controls Variety's wallpaper rotation settings.
• Cinnamon Spices (applets, extensions) under .config/spices/ may need to be installed via the Spices manager before their configs apply.
• Fish functions are in .config/functions/ — drop them into ~/.config/fish/functions/.
