hidpi and display settings:
hidpi setting should be in Displays, not in General
frequency in monitor settings
System Settings > Display won’t let me set the one on the right as primary. The “Set as Primary” button is grayed. It’s connected as DVI. The other monitor’s “Set as Primary” is not grayed. It’s connected as VGA. This is related to a very longstanding issue of Mint always opening dialogs on the left (wrong) monitor
look and feel:
fix spacing between systray icons
cinnamon panel icon size sometimes show huge icons unless panel-scale-text-icons is set to true..
icons pixelated in alt-tab or panel after a suspend-resume
networking:
network applet, consider this https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=119742&sid=031f412655735293e130867c0fb1dbde https://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/networkmanager.jpg

regression, I can view the various wireless networks that are available and when I select one from the applet the Networking windows is opened. All networks are shown with a ‘play’ button (arrow). When I select a protected network (mine), symbol turns infinitely without connecting. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=182608
Can the upstream fix maybe be included in Mint somehow? Commit at upstream Gnome is https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=c798c40c5dce3bc6d9b615621cefe59660b5a504.
When attempting to connect to a WPA/WPA2-Enterprise network using either the NetworkManager panel applet or Network Settings dialogue. Expected behavior is that a configuration dialogue for security settings (identity, password, CA cert, etc.) should pop up, allowing user to configure network. NM should then connect to the network. Actual behavior is that NM displays the “connecting to network” animation but never connects, pops up the security dialogue, or gives any error message (at least in the GUI). However, configuring the same WPA2 Enterprise connection through the “Connect to a Hidden Network” dialogue (i.e., manually) works as expected.
