Cinnamon 5.4 breaks window boarders and titlebars

[link12765]

The latest update for cinnamon 5.4 is no longer allowing the window boarders and titlebars to draw correctly.

Hey Jackson, I'm using a fully updated rolling release Arch Linux with cinnamon installed through the package manager. I don't really know what having open shot installed or not has to do with anything?

Yeah? I'm assuming that's because it just worked up until now. This is the best XP theme out there and it would be a shame if it was left borked because of a cinnamon update.

Seems to be because the themes still use metacity-1, which may have been deprecated.

If you want a metacity theme that matches, you can try Windows-XP

Again, like I said before, this is the only theme that actually looks exactly like XP, the theme you suggested still is a bit off. Does anyone know if this could be updated or how one would go about doing it themselves?

@link12765 Sorry! I forgot I followed this repo! I'm a maintainer of Openshot, and didn't notice this notification came from a different repo.

You can use this GTK theme with the B00merang Metacity theme.

Metacity theme support is no more in Cinnamon - the code for using Metacity themes was entirely removed, essentially, thus the titlebars are now styled using the same method as GNOME.

That's why you're seeing this issue - it's a Mint-intended CinnXP-breaking change mentioned on Mint 21's changelog.

Any chance someone who knows what they're doing can update this theme for Mint 21? This is/was the best XP theme.

Please.

ndwarshuis abandoned this theme (and the Cinnamon desktop) years ago. The project in its current state is breaking for that reason. It's dead, Jim.
