Cinnamon Features

Added more elaboration on features. Wei2912 (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your additions as they are mostly unsourced personal opinions, please see WP:NOTBLOG, while the rest is how-to information which is not permitted under WP:NOTMANUAL. - Ahunt (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't realise that it was against them, i was typing out these late in the night. I'll take note. Thanks for informing me. Wei2912 (talk) 08:55, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some pictures are outdated/marked for copyright infringement

The article requires a newer screenshot of Cinnamon 1.2. The current screenshot can be used in the History of Cinnamon, but not likely in the near future, as Cinnamon doesn't have much of a history for its multiple minor versions. Also, two pictures displaying the overview of Cinnamon 1.2 and Cinnamon Settings are currently marked for copyright infringement. New pictures are required which complies with copyright and are not outdated. Thanks.Wei2912 (talk) 11:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a screenshot of the latest Cinnamon release (1.4.0 at the time of writing), and it's my own work so it's free from copyright Lukys (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. Wei2912 (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

Would anyone care to update some info (if you haven't already) since 1.4 is out? Perhaps a screenshot of some new features and the entire desktop? —Xskydevilx (talk) 10:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On it. Thanks for the reminder. Wei2912 (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contraversy quote

That orphaned controversy quote is from Ubermann in the Cinnamon GIT- https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/1828 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.26.160 (talk) 04:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshots

I would like a screenshot of the graphical front-end that utilzes RandR: http://www.linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/rosa/cinnamon_display.png It would display the differences in the design of cinnamon to GNOME, etc. User:ScotXW^t@lk 15:37, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obsolete

The article seems to describe Cinnamon as of 2012. It would be good to have it updated. ---Dagme (talk) 05:12, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

are there any examples of changes that need to be made to the article to make it more up to date? Tauin (talk) 10:47, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated information

This article contains outdated screenshots and doesn't seem to include information exclusive to newer Cinnamon releases. I'll see if I can update some of the screenshots, and perhaps add some new ones, but more information on newer features (e.g.: Wayland support) should be added as well.
