Uagh... I mean I can understand that one wants to sort out old technologies (metacity)... and needs new stuff (wayland)... But I can also quite understand the criticism from the reporter of the issue you've mentioned below. Seems quite some time since cinnamon got real new power features and detailed ways to customise the DE. Now it looses the theming, or at least some important parts of it. Feels a bit like the unfortunate GNOME way. > about windows decoration is one of the things changed in newer mutter > and now is managed by gtk3 theme chosen, this probably can help you: > https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10848 I'll see whether I can make it more usable via the CSS thingy proposed there. But with the default theme that we have now, the window title filed seems unnecessarily big[0], and the colours for focused/non-focused also seem to be rather problematic. > so is probably something that should be added/changed in the theme, Are you going to adapt something for that in the default theme shipped by Debian?

Thanks btw. for your maintenance efforts. Cheers, Chris.
