I think I may have chosen Mint-with no codecs from the downloads section. What should I do to get the nicer cinnamon window styling as in this page?. I have attached an image to show how my window title bar looks like.

display managers:

window managers: before i tried installing muffin

2041:rag@rag-work-laptop:~/Documents$  dpkg -l | g muffin
ii  gir1.2-muffin-3.0                           1.1.2+nadia                               amd64        GObject introspection data for Muffin
ii  libmuffin0                                  1.1.2+nadia                               amd64        window manager library from the Muffin window manager
ii  muffin-common                               1.1.2+nadia                               all          shared files for the Muffin window manager

I have now installed muffin but muffin does not start on X start up and I still have the same old style.

2056:rag@rag-work-laptop:~/Documents$  dpkg -l | g -i muffin
ii  gir1.2-muffin-3.0                           1.1.2+nadia                               amd64        GObject introspection data for Muffin
ii  libmuffin0                                  1.1.2+nadia                               amd64        window manager library from the Muffin window manager
ii  muffin                                      1.1.2+nadia                               amd64        lightweight GTK+ window manager
ii  muffin-common                               1.1.2+nadia                               all          shared files for the Muffin window manager

When I installed Mint after wiping Ubuntu, I remounted my backed up Ubuntu /home partition. Thus the theme settings for Mint were not available. So I had to go to Preferences -> Cinnamon Settings -> Themes to switch to a different theme. Now, I have nicer window title bars.
