Within my Arch Linux installation script Strings I used the GitHub page for Linux Mint to install their icons and themes. In doing this I used pacman to install sassc so the Linux Mint python script could derive the themes without issue. But Linux Mint recently changed what they use for deriving themes and they now use the python package pysassc. Arch Linux offers python-pysassc in the AUR which means I would have to install Linux Mint themes in the Final script due to needing the user account rather than the root account. In trying to modify Final I discovered an AUR package that would install Linux Mint themes using all the dependencies needed. This was a lot easier to use rather than install python myself and work everything out to install Linux Mint themes. Of course I need to install this AUR package in the Final script. This leaves installing only Linux Mint icons in the Cinnamon script. As a result I chose to remove the processes in Cinnamon and use them in the Pacman script deleting the Cinnamon script. I originally added Cinnamon thinking I could add other scripts for various desktop installations. But Cinnamon is so ingrained in Strings now I could never accommodate other desktops. So Strings is really an Arch Linux based Linux Mint theme installation script. If you want Linux Mint themes on Arch Linux, Strings can do it for you. If I ever change my preferred Arch Linux desktop I guess I will write another script and workout what to name it.
