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?

    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.
