The (rather iconic) green synonymous with the distro has been retired, with Mint reasoning that it doesn’t need to use green everywhere to remind people they’re using Linux Mint – they’re already aware of it! New default folder icons (and they’re not green – shock)Īlso changed, Linux Mint 21.1 uses ‘aqua’ as a default colour accent. The ‘desktop’ icon now reflects Cinnamon’s default layout. Instead of a sea of muted green tones, Mint now uses bright yellow folder icons with a blue diagonal line in the bottom corner. This are immediately noticeable to long-time users upon opening the Nemo file manager. Talking of icons, Linux Mint 21.1 features new folder icons. You can enable these (along with icons for mounted drivers and other items) from the Desktop Icons settings if you miss them. Linux Mint 21.1 no longer puts icons for “Home” or “Trash” or the desktop by default. The Corner Bar in action on Linux Mint 21.1Īs Linux Mint 21.1 removes the ‘show desktop’ applet from the bottom panel (as the new Corner Bar reimplement the functionality) there’s a slight panel order change: Mint Menu stays on the far-left of the bottom panel but is now followed by a separator, and then by shortcuts for Nemo and Firefox:Ī new dividing line between menu and launchers There you’ll also find effect blur and opacity controls too, allowing you to create the kind of effect you want. You can enable a ‘peek on hover’ effect in the Corner Bar settings (which can access from the Mint applets UI or by right-clicking on the Corner Bar and selecting ‘preferences’). Using Corner Bar you can it click the very end of the bottom panel to hide all windows and instantly show the desktop.
This version of Cinnamon offers a couple of new features, including a new Corner Bar applet comes enabled by default.
Well, Linux Mint 21.1 ships with the Cinnamon 5.6 desktops environment by default. For those who tried it, there are no major changes from the Linux Mint 21.1 beta released earlier this month (and yes, if you use that beta you can upgrade to this final release).
This update to Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LT and includes a curated crop of user-interface tweaks, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Linux Mint 21.1 ‘Vera’ has been released and is now available to download.
