Cinnamon does look comfy to use. Nice setup.
So, what did you do/change? That looks almost like a vanilla install to me
I moved the main panel to the left, and added one to the top and filled it with applets. I tried to keep it looking as sleek as possible. Spent more time adjusting colors an spacing than you might expect lol
Please, for all that is holy, plug in your laptop.
Looks great, nice and clean. I appreciate that.
