I see on the screenshot the top right bar doesn't include all those system tray icons like they are present in Mint 12 by default. I'm looking for way to disable the top right tray entirely, or somehow reduce the count of items shown.
Alright I get you now. Well i made you a quick 2 minute fix, I will look into actually removing everything later in the week. I sent it to you as a note because its long and involves changing the css file.
well if you want garden gnomes go into .themes and open Sleek Shells/Gnome Shell. In that folder there is the picture of a shell called corner-ripple-ltr.png back that up on your comp. then open gimp with a new image 52x52 with a transparent background. You can put what ever you want in there (gnomes, your face ect) and just export it to the sleek shells file as "corner-ripple-ltr.png". Can be kind of fun!
looks great
i like it .
