Thanks,

Found what I mean now ... was under shell theme changed to Z Dark.

Pretty sure in the beta Z Dark was set as default.

No. The only customisation was to enable it to multi-boot with other distros on the DVD, which doesn't affect either the live or installed environments.

OK thanks

below is what I am talking about

Hi all,

I just installed Mint 12 off the cover DVD but noticed my menu bar
is not transparent like most screen shots I have seen.

Is this a custom burn of Mint that Linux Format made?

Just not sure why mine is different?

Thanks

Dan

Yep, arrived today, in all its Minty goodness. Looks like nelz is still on top form with his DVD compiling skills.
