Install via Cinnamon's Themes module in Cinnamon settings or download from [Cinnamon Spices](https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes) and unzip into your `~/.themes` directory.



Select the theme as your Desktop, Controls and Window Borders in the Cinnamon Themes module.



To allow the GTK2, GTK3 and Metacity1 themes to apply to GUI apps running as root run this command in your terminal after installation to create symlinks to user themes in the system theme directory.



`sudo ln -s ~/.themes/* /usr/share/themes/`



## Compatibility



This theme is compatible with Cinnamon versions `3.2.x`, `3.4.x`, `3.6.x` & `3.8.x`



The GTK3 themes require GTK `3.18.x` or `3.22.x`



Tested on Linux Mint `18.2`, `18.3` & `19` 64bit with Cinnamon `3.4.x`, `3.6.x`, and `3.8.x`.



### Firefox fix



If you have problems seeing text on input fields in Firefox with any particular theme this problem can be solved by adding a `~/.mozilla/firefox/********.default/user.js` file to your Firefox default profile including the line `user_pref("widget.content.gtk-theme-override", "Adwaita");` and restarting Firefox.



This forces firefox to use the GTK default Adwaita theme for rendering all website content.



The theme includes a helper script that creates the file with this content in the correct location. To access the tool open a terminal window and use the following command to make the script executable and launch it.



`chmod +x ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/firefox_fix.sh && ~/.themes/Adapta-Nokto/cinnamon/firefox_fix.sh`
