Clearmint for Mint
Introducing Clearmint, a fresh, white experience for your favorite stats script.
What is Clearmint?
As of Mint 2.0+, Mint now has styles, where a simple edit of the css can change the look and feel of Mint. Already in a fairly short period of time there have been many styles released for Mint, including Massive Blue’s style. Even with all color mods already available, one I hadn’t seen that surprised me was a style having very little color at all.
Clearmint - Faster, Simpler, Lighter
Clearmint answers the call for a lighter Mint style. We’ve stripped out most of the images, including the rounded corners, and put together a white / light gray with red and green accents theme. Not only does it look awfully fly, but it also improves loading time somewhat because their are not many background images that need to load.
What does CM look like?

Download CM
Done with the hype? Give Clearmint a try. Simply download Clearmint V. 1 and drop the “clearmint” folder into the Mint styles folder found in “../mint/styles”. Then head to the Mint preferences panel and select Clearmint, and your on you way to being the freshest on the street!

Clearmint Ice: A User Modification
Clearmint Ice is a user-submitted modification by Rusty Mitchell. This modification adds light blues and borders to pages and panels, and gives a clean, frosty look to Clearmint. An excellent mod for sure, you’ll probably want to download it and CM and give them both a try. You can download this mod from here.

I am a young designer who has been doing this longer than most other people my age. I had an early start, and have built upon it over the last few years. Devlounge was my first major successful project, which I hope is the first of many. DL is now officially out of my hands, but I hope to continue contributing for as long as I can. See more posts by

Great work, really like this style. Added to Peppermint Tea!
Thanks Sam!
Amazing
Great work! Installing this now.
Oh yeah, heads up: You might want to do a new archive so that it’s a clear_mint folder with images/ and style.css under it.
You know, for the lazy people :). That way people don’t add this to the main styles/ and wonder why it won’t work.
I really really like this. I have yet to test it out but I’m sure it’ll do wonders for my load time. And it just looks fantastic!
^ Kory, if you turn off some of the features in Mint 2, it’ll definitely help with load. Mint 2 install out-of-the-box would freeze my browser on me.
Right now I just keep it at one column (Enable single-column mode at 600px), with the following unchecked: Stagger pane loading, Fix pane height and use scrollbars, Collapse vertical whitespace between panes (approximates pane order).
Great suggestions Jordan
Great.
Just what I was looking for … and found by accident at that.
Looks uber-smexy. I would use it if I didn’t have an attraction to dark styles.
Looks great. However, I did notice one issue. After clicking on the last tab in any pepper, that tab will completely disappear. This only happens with the last tab.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll try to get a fix up within the next few days.
I found the issue. It is under “DISPLAY TABS”.
.display ul.tabs li.last-child.active a,
.display ul.tabs li.only-child.active a
{
background-color: #fff;
}
should be
.display ul.tabs li.last-child.active a,
.display ul.tabs li.only-child.active a
{
background-color: #333;
}
Thanks, now fixed
