We’re Linux Mint no matter what and we want to use the color that looks the most sexy out of the box.” Mint explain: “We don’t need to look green to be Linux Mint. Linux Mint 21.1 now uses ‘aqua’ as its default colour accent, rather than the (rather iconic) green synomous with the distro. This isn’t the only major appearance change. New default folder icons (and they’re not green – shock) I’m not sure what the blue diagonal line on folder corners is meant to represent (if anything), as it does look more like a status-signifier than a part of the folder concept. Linux Mint 21.1 introduces new folder icons, which are most noticeable when opening the Nemo file manager for the first time. The Mint Menu remains on the far-left but is now followed by a separator, and then shortcuts for Nemo and Firefox. This results in minor rearrangement of the default panel layout. Mint add an option to blur foreground windows too, and configure the opacity of the peek effect itself: The Corner Bar in action on Linux Mint 21.1 Betaīecause the new ‘Corner Bar’ in Linux Mint 21.1 offers similar functionality to Linux Mint’s older ‘show desktop’ applet, the latter has been removed. This is something many Windows users may be familiar with. There is a Corner Bar setting to enable a ‘peek at desktop on hover’ effect. Corner Bar is enabled by default, and lets you click the end of the panel to instantly hide all windows and show the desktop. It offers a few new features, including the new Corner Bar applet we wrote about last month. This is the latest stable release of the nimble (and rather traditional) Cinnamon desktop environment. “Vera” is more of a collection of iterative improvements rather than a mass of major new ones - exactly as most point releases are.Īt the heart of Linux Mint 21.1 is Cinnamon 5.6. It is still based on the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release, albeit with scores of home-grown software on top.Īs updates go, Linux Mint 21.1 isn’t the biggest one Mint has put out. This beta is in advance of a planned stable release later this month. Linux Mint 21.1 beta builds are up on the Linux Mint servers for download, though the milestone is yet to be “officially” announced. A brand new beta build of Linux Mint 21.1 “Vera” is available to download.
