Since the Mint-Y theme is constantly in evolution and the same goes for Cinnamon and Linux Mint, I made this github to make a division between cinnamon versions.
Linux Mint 18 has standard version 3.0+
Linux Mint 18.1 has standard version 3.2+
Linux Mint 18.2 has standard version 3.4+
You can find your personal cinnamon version when you type the following code in the terminal
cinnamon --version
But the best thing to do always, is to run the scripts from https://github.com/erikdubois/Mint-Y-Colora-Theme yourself on your personal setup. This will always be the best option. More information how to do just that, can be found here.
http://erikdubois.be/category/themes/mint-y-based-themes/
Download this github,
extract it,
check your cinnamon version
select the appropriate themes
copy/paste them to the hidden folder .themes in your home directory.
Or
you can use one of the scripts to install them via terminal
Cinnamon 3.0
theme-mint-y-colora-collection-3.0-vx.sh
Cinnamon 3.2
theme-mint-y-colora-collection-3.2-vx.sh
Cinnamon 3.4
theme-mint-y-colora-collection-3.4-vx.sh
You will find the themes in the hidden folder .themes in your home directory. Select them with your theme manager.
Google+ is far easier to host the images on

If you want the icons on the toolbar to be white like I do. Go to the cinnamon folder and change the cinnnamon.css file to this code around line 455.
.system-status-icon {
icon-size: 16px;
padding: 0 1px;
color: white; }
and line 1327 to this code
.applet-label {
font-weight: bold;
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1); }
#What can you do if the script does not execute?
Since I sometimes forget to make the script executable, I include here what you can do to solve that.
A script can only run when it is marked as an executable.
ls -al
Above code will reveal if a script has an "x". X meaning executable. Google "chmod" and "execute" and you will find more info.
For now if this happens, you should apply this code in the terminal and add the file name.
chmod +x typeyourfilename
Then you can execute it by typing
./typeyourfilename
Or you can follow these steps
#But that is the fun in Linux.
You can do whatever Y O U want.
Share the knowledge.
