I like this theme, but on Cinnamon the active applications in the taskbar have no indicator, only the focused application.

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look

g-nome

is there any screenshot?

I just redownloaded the theme and took one. https://imgur.com/a/cowt4of As you can see, it seems like only one application on the panel is active, but in reality three of them are: Files (focused), Floorp, and Themes. There is no indication that those are running. The original comment was reported from Mint 22.1, but this one is from LMDE 6, where the version of Cinnamon is updated to 6.4.8 (the latest, AFAIK). The install is fresh, only a few days old, there's nothing that should be interfering with the theme.

Now I can see it, I will try to fix issues on this theme, thanks!

9 I really like this theme. It is blue and dark, just what I was looking for. I also like the round window buttons in the corner. Thank you!

g-nome

Thank you for your rating and appreciation! :)

Under XFCE, what's the difference between clean-solid and mountain-solid, besides the window decorations please? (using thunar here)

g-nome

There is no difference, only the window decoration is different ( thunar )

fblais

ok, thanks! By the way, would you consider a variant with a paler blue? (ex: D3E3FD) Thanks!

g-nome

I will consider it. But I don't promise to create it, thanks!
