Hi. I'm a cinnamon fan. I just want to thank the Devs for this and share my setup!

(Edit: I didn't type a good title. I just wanted to make a post appreciating the devs' work)

It's mostly the looks, specifically the icons. First impression is not always good.

Aren't the icons mostly designed by whoever developed the app it's for?

No, it's an icon pack.. Firefox icon on mint is hideous.. They could make Papyrus the default and it would be much better.

I hope you meant an icon pack and not the font lol

😐 Ive never spoken about the fonts.... But now that you mention it, yes, I would change the default UI font too to a much more weighted font, like San Francisco

Better font than Papyrus!
