“Disable Dark Theme” doesn’t work, if i’m right when i assume it should do “gsettings set org.x.viewer.view use-background-color false”?
after a fullscreen-view the sidebar is gone and must be enabled manually again.
please make the position (left/right, top/bottom won’t make much sense) of the sidebar configurable (like the gallery) at least via dconf!
support gestures to zoom

actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file
add cinnamon-session (present but inactive) and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations

gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo
when battery is very low, battery icon isn't red.. 2% charge, with less than 5 minutes to go, still not red.. bar is red in CCC, icon is red in notification.. but not in applet (and also not in the CCC icon itself either)
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
menu: use search providers to search local files
launcher: check budgie app suggestions
Is there any reason why there are two names for the same item, eg. "Trash" and "Rubbish Bin"? Would it be better to standardise on only one name?
add gnome-screenshot to panel, right-click and select "Take screenshot of a selected area". This runs gnome-screenshot -a.. it should work but it doesn't. Is it because of the panel launcher capturing the click event or something?
In Nemo, when I click on File System, followed by File and Properties, it gives me the details of the Home folder, not the File System, so it’s difficult to determine disk space of overall operating system.
In Nemo, if i select a new tab, the folder name that appears in the tab appears with a separation line underneath, separating the tab name from the list of files in the folder. This style of separation is onconsistent to XED, where the Tab name and content under that tab have no such visible horizontal separation line.
consider merging worldclock https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets
network applet: if possible, add a little refresh icon to ask for a new scan
system settings modules don't use the icon (in alt-tab, and window list) associated with the menu item
Bluetooth panel icon was nicer when it was monochromatic (do we need blueberry to provide a cinnamon applet?)
When connecting with PEAP authentication, the network manager applet just gets stuck instead of prompting for credentials.
global lock-down?
