So now I’m on Xubuntu 20.04, everything I chuck at it, it says yes to. As Linux Mint went on releasing Uma and Una, the panel problems increased. What I was noticing with it though, was icons being added wrong onto panel, through panel launcher, then all panels would disappear, when deleting apps off of panel. I moved to Linux Mint Ulyssa based on 20.04.1 the first point release. I finally after making my own theme, was able to say goodbye to Peppermint OS, but take a little bit of Mark with me, which helps an awful lot. Then reboot and you’ll see that it will display correctly all the time, so no need for Under-Shoot lines in themes. I get as to why they are there, but in my experience after right clicking panel and the list does not look right, just keep right clicking till it does. I then had to go on the hunt for a Icon theme, something light and fluffy to go with my theme? Sardi-Ghost-Flexible grey is the right Icon theme for my theme aptly named Smooth, as it has no Under-Shoot lines, like the default themes in Mint and a lot of other XFCE OSES do. I then came up with the idea of making my own XFCE theme with Mark’s theme as a template, changed the colours around, to a nice dark grey, window border fades out when not highlighted. Found it so hard to let Peppermint go altogether.

I went to Linux Mint XFCE Edition, but waited till April 2020. Never met him in person, but just by chatting with him got to know him. It was the hardest decision ever for me to do, as I spent time through out my time with Peppermint, getting to know Mark, staying up with him till three or four in the morning answering people’s queries on Peppermint Forums. So I was torn between grieving for Mark and letting Peppermint OS down, by going onto something else.
#MANJARO REDSHIFT SOFTWARE#
When Mark Greaves passed away at the beginning of 2020, I, could not use Peppermint any more, simply because every single piece of Software he’d written into the OS, would just upset me further. Mostly memory, but like most of us he took a lot of notes too. He was a Linux Encyclopedia, knew everything about it inside out. It zoomed along faster than normal XFCE and because Mark Greaves was the man at the helm, who put it all together single handedly. Peppermint was a hybrid of LXDE and XFCE. Started my XFCE journey with Peppermint OS 7, 8, 9 and 10.
