I'm very excited about the cinnamon desktop environment and want to write applets for it.

How can this be done?

Where can I find information and tutorials about it? (I have searched in google, but was unable to find any examples)

Thanks for the help!

Cinnamon applets are written in JavaScript. There are a number of fairly complete tutorials:

  • It looks like the only language with tutorials for making applets is Bash; are other languages like C++ not supported? – Alexej Magura Dec 27 '14 at 19:23

  • It seems that everything in https://developer.linuxmint.com has been moved to https://projects.linuxmint.com . I fixed the link, it will be visible once the edit has been approved. – Garo Mar 20 '21 at 16:29
  • And it seems that i can't edit my own comments... Can someone remove the "I fixed the link, it will be visible once the edit has been approved"-part in my previous comment ? (And also remove this comment) – Garo Mar 22 '21 at 23:36
