hi dear,

I can confirm, that this ppa-repository works also on Luninux 12 based on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise!! So you can also tell the users,
who use LinuxMint 13, that they can also use your repository!!! There is absolutely no danger.

Then I wanted to say, that your theme looks nice
dark andlike a night-theme. Beautyfull!!!

Greetings

The problem with using the PPA for Linux Mint is that Ubuntu has very specific issues when drawing this theme. These same issues do not exist with Linux Mint. These 'ubuntu-specific' issues are due to Unity, Overlay-Scrollbars, and its use of Metacity-2. The version of 'varNaM' in the PPA is specifically designed to address these issues for Ubuntu.
***You can uses the PPA with Linux Mint, but you will need to comment out both the 'ubuntu-specific.css' & the 'ubuntu-specific-dark.css' for the theme to draw properly, and look as intended.
Navigating to '/usr/share/themes/varnam-gtk-ubuntu/gtk-3.0/' and open the files (with your favorite text editor): 'gtk-main.css' & 'gtk-main-dark.css' and go to the third line from the bottom of each and comment-out the lines that say '@import url("ubuntu-specific.css");' using a '*/' before and a '/*' trailing at the end. The line should look like this when you are finished: '/*@import url("ubuntu-specific.css");*/'.
And thats it. After doing that it will draw without artifacts and look as intended on Linux Mint 13 while using the PPA to keep it up to date.
****Don't forget to repeat this after an update from the PPA.
