I have no idea where in the gtk2 theme i can change the color. In gtk3 it is:

.xfce4-panel.panel {
   background-color: $panel_bg;
   color: white;

As color I suggest to add a color variable which is equal to the text colors:

$light_color: #D3DAE3;
$dark_color: #3b3e45;

Will take longer to compile. Lets test and check if its worth. The question is also if we are still editing those pictures or not. If not, we can just leave them.

Linking to origin issue #573

could you change the gnome terminal to always use the theme border color as background + add a minimal padding

VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
        padding: .5em;
        background-color: #2F343F;
}

^ for the dark version, since I enforce dark themes on terminal.

compared to default:

Many people already use it like this, so I think its a not so bad idea to have it by default.

Hi,
This feature request was already done to @horst3180 , so I report it on your issue board.
I think this could be very useful for people that would customize the arc theme in a simple way.
horst3180/arc-theme#816

Sorry to put this here, but I do not know if it's the Arc theme, or this is related to Cinnamon. What is that bar that can be seen below the search box that appears with Alt + F2? (I marked it with red color). Is it something that works poorly or simply decoration?

Arch Linux x64 (4.16.6-1-ARCH)
Cinnamon 3.8.1
arc-gtk-theme-20180114-1
gtk3-3.22.30-1
gtk-engine-murrine-0.98.2-3
gnome-themes-extra-3.28-1 (is taken by pacman as gnome-themes-standard)
Installation method: package via pacman

If my message has to be deleted, I understand. Thanks and I'm sorry again.

I think it would be nice and more modern looking if the settings menu, notifications...etc have a little bit transparency.

budgie desktop needs specific styling otherwise the budgie aspects look broken e.g. black menu when searching, raven not correctly coloured, no transparency

To correct this budgie desktop has an in-built "system theme". However when not using this the above occurs.

I have provisionally added the budgie theme styling to a "budgiecomplete" branch.

To all budgie desktop users this needs testing - more-over, it needs people to help fix stuff to make it work correctly. So please dive in!

checkout the budgie branch, compile using the HACKING.md instructions and install.

The arc them on 18.04 does not set the color correctly on the icons of wsoverview; all icons appear grey now. Not sure if this is the right place though to file this.

(nearly visible, next to the hotcorners icon)

Copied from original issue: UbuntuBudgie/budgie-desktop-environment#90

Firefox and Chrome now support GTK themes way better than before. Also those themes are possibly outdated. Should we remove them from the readme/source?

Hi guys, I appreciate a lot the work you're doing on maintaining the arc-theme.
I have a question: Are you planning to add an updated fedora repository for the theme soon?

First of all thank you for this .. i have just now pushed in our repo your work .. only a note in my version i removed all old gtk version and only build >= gtk3.20

https://github.com/manjaro/packages-community/commit/2bedcb5ea795e1b4db0e7299d950b0b2f4b12072

Continuing from: #862

Built off of 42d8f23, issue still persists.

Firefox issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1408335

Patch author explains cause in comment 6:

It's caused by Gtk+ themes with a specific button.titlebutton theming.

For instance Arc-Dark defines:

.titlebar button.titlebutton.close,
.titlebar button.titlebutton.maximize,
.titlebar button.titlebutton.minimize {
color: transparent;
....
}

.titlebar button.titlebutton.close {
background-image: -gtk-scaled(url("assets/titlebutton-close-dark.png"), url("assets/[email protected]")); }

which means default Gtk+ titlebar button is transparent (invisible) and it's completely replaced by background-image.

The Workspace Switcher on Budgie has in the Light and Darker variants a white background on a dark panel, which leads to very weird styling in my opinion and makes the text, if there are more than 2 applications on that workspace open, unreadable:

Using arc dark I get inputs that look like:

and scrollbars that look like:

The scrollbars aren't an issue really, but the inputs seem off (i.e. hard to use)

It looks fine with the default theme

When using the Dark variant, menus do not color properly and instead retain the color of the light version.

This occurs in the Chrome menu, the right click context menu, as well as the menu for Nautilus File Explorer just to name 3 examples.

Hi,
can you add a variant of the arc-darker theme, with the menu background having the dark color (as it happens on the numix theme)? For certain types of icon themes, like the evolvere icon theme this is recommended, if you want to use them without a full dark theme.
Thanks in advance

The window border line at the bottom is considerably thicker than the borders on the left and the right.

You can fix this by resizing the bottom*.png in arc-theme/common/xfwm4/assets/

Some people say that this would impact usability, but this post explains why we should shrink the bottom border: https://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce

Debian buster and gnome Version 3.26.2

top bar is dark and date text is dark too

I have no idea where to place the commands. I guess it should be inside the extras folders makefile. Maybe @fossfreedom can help?

• We should add a link to the package: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/arc-gtk-
  theme/
• And also add the solid theme: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/arc-solid-gtk-theme/
• The email of the AUR maintainer should get removed and a link to the AUR package should be plced instead. This is for privacy/bot reasons and also the maintainer can change. Or we remove it directly, as most users just use the stable package anyways. Doesnt make that much sense to use the git version. It was relevant, at the time when there was no prebuilt package available.

I've noticed this while using Fractal (a Matrix IM client). Its main window header bar has a GtkStack with two GtkHeaderBar elements and a GtkSeparator in between. The separator shows as a white/light line, which looks jarring in the dark theme variants.

Using the following CSS snippet from the GTK+ inspector seems to do the trick to fix this issue for Fractal:

window.csd stack separator.vertical {
	background-color: #282828;
}

(Probably using window.csd separator in the CSS selector is enough and more general, dunno!)

You can see the white line in the following GIF, and how the CSS snippet being applied from the inspector changes it to a dark line:

Hello,

An issue that has been around since the beginning of the Arc theme is the very low contrast. I cause eye-strain for a lot of people !

I will be awesome if you can improve it.

horst3180/arc-theme#406

Thanks !

The global dark theme option got removed recently:
https://jeremy.bicha.net/2017/08/29/gnome-tweaks-3-25-91/

I personally used arc-darker + global dark theme. This way not everything is totally dark, but most applications are. The post suggest that we provide new themes which support darker variants directly. He also mentions arc, but arc-darker + global dark theme != arc dark.

Beside this there was an issue report (i cannot find it again) which suggested to rename the arc variants to:
arc -> arc-light
arc-darker -> arc
arc-dark (stays the same)

My suggestion is to do the transition above and use the arc-darker variant for a theme that looks like the current setup with arc-darker + global dark theme. @fossfreedom what do you think?

Hello, thank you for reviving Arc :)

Would it be possible to add a "leftside" variant for people having window buttons at left? With the arrows pointing to the left of course. Or even better IMO, replace the arrows by a '+', which is better for maximize, arrows like that often mean "fullscreen".

Description

Using a fresh installation of Ubuntu, roughly 1 week, I'm getting an issue with the "system menu" (don't know the official name) that you get when clicking the top right icons. As you can see the battery remaining time indication is truncated, making it impossible to know the remaining percentage of the battery :

Just in case, here are my settings regarding appearance, as seen on Tweaks app :

Feel free to ask me for any additional information or tell me if I'm missing anything obvious.

This was originally posted on the repo of horst3180. It still exist for the latest version from this repo.

Ubuntu Mate: 17.10
mate global menu

Installed arc theme from your repo, installed version: arc-theme (20171105-0+201712202146~ubuntu17.10.1)

The color of the menuitem in the menu dropdown is washed out. The arrow next to the label has the correct color, but the label itself does not.

Please make the label itself the same dark color. Or let me know what to change in the gtk.css file.

After last update, Chromium, big titlebar button. In settings "use system titlebar and border" - disabled.

Gnome 3.26.2 (Manjaro)
In others themes (like a Adwaita, Numix) I don't see this.

Again: Please close this issue and test the newer fork. I think we fixed such an issue already. If it still exists please open a new one there.

Same too problem.

panel.rc (gtk2) still has hardcoded colors. Those should be replaced by variables.

In the XFCE4 panel all the open windows have that white background color what makes it very hard to read the text and also does not look well overall.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to fix this. Is this a bug in the Arc theme?

I did not do any modifications etc. I've just installed the arc-gtk-theme package.

OS: Arch Linux
DE: XFCE4
WM: Xfwm4
WM Theme: Arc-Dark
GTK Theme: Arc [GTK2]
Icon Theme: Papirus

This is a tricky one:
I am using gnome on ArchLinux. On the top bar you can control the music volume. You can also scroll over this icon and then the volume changes.

The problem I am experiencing is that this popup moves left and right a few pixels. This is stronger on higher volumes > 75%. This only happens on my laptop screen (1600x900 16:9), not on my main screen (1280 x 1024 5:4).

I am unable to take pictures, but I described it as best as I can. As a side note I also sometimes had problems, that the moving bar has ugly/not-rounded edges at both ends. This was always fixed after a reboot, but not influenced by updates (as I did not do updates).

Somehow I'd broke toggle button animation. In blackbird theme (which one had downloaded as dependency) and defaults adwaitas all works fine.
Where should I look for the problem?

Installed on debian buster via apt, arc-theme version - 20180114-1, gnome 3.28.0

First of all thank you very much for picking up this project, I was afraid Arc would die!

Second, I'd like to know if there is interest to implement a "simpler" variant of Arc that does not use any kind of transitions, animations, gradients, fade effects, transparency, translucency, etc. Basically disable anything that "moves".

It would come handy for low-end computers that would have to render less stuff or for people like me that simply dislike such visual effects.

Right now I use a simple script to remove all references I could find to such things in Arc-solid, but it is very crude and quite possibly breaks stuff. Having upstream support for this would be much better.

letters are 'disconfigured' (messed up) on atom. Please, need to fix.

20171105 has all the gtk-3.0 files as the original you forked from. 20180114 is broke and seems to be missing files for gtk-3.0, we need an update...

I'm using the gtk 3.18 folder, but I noticed all the gtk-3.0 folders missing files...

I looked inside 20171105

Arc/gtk-3.0 >ls
assets assets.svg assets.txt gtk-dark.css gtk-darker.css gtk-solid-dark.css gtk-solid-darker.css gtk-solid.css gtk.css render-assets.sh sass

The contents of 20180114
/home/foo/.themes/Arc/gtk-3.0>ls
assets assets.svg assets.txt render-assets.sh sass

If I use a system theme as example, Adwaita, then switch to Arc, I see all of my apps that are compiled against gtk3 still using the Adwaita theme, I'm assuming because you are missing the files that 20171105 has.

Hmm

I use GNOME 3.26 on arch and the arc theme . i have an issue with a wierd shadows arround the sound icon, this appears also around notifications

I found out that the darker colors are not applied to arc-darker:

See horst3180/arc-theme#656

From: horst3180/arc-theme#835

GNOME 3.26 introduced translucent effect, it would be nice if Arc theme supported this.

Hi there.
I have encountered to a new problem which the frame of title-bar on opened windows is not fit with the text!
Here is screenshot for better understanding:

See the frame and title bar on an opened Firefox window, at the bottom of the screen! The window title and its frame in not fit! It also occurs on all opened windows in activities window.)

I don't know what caused this problem, maybe arc-theme or my enabled extension!? so any helps on it are welcome.
On the other hand if it comes from arc-theme please fix it, since official arc-theme repository is not active it will be very good if you could provide the fixes during this problem in official repository, so that one day the owner of arc-theme may push the fixes to OS's repo to widely fixes.

Looks like my icons are not working properly. Looking at the preview, my icons on the sidebar are not in black and white and my application launcher hasn't changed. Here is a screen shot:

As you can see, the icons on the left still have color. Also, my menu on the top bar doesn't have the three dots either.

How do I fix this? I thought I did everything right to make this look correct.

The dash-to-dock "Show All Applications" button is off-center when using this theme with the "shrink the dash" option selected. It also does not take up the full panel with or without this option selected, which makes it counter-intuitive to click.

thanks for keeping this alive.
any chance of a compact version, like adapta-eta?

As Horst3180's PPA is no longer working, I would appreciate it if someone can set up a PPA for this fork. I have tried to debianize it up but couldn't pass through the debuild -S step to generate the source ball before uploading to Launchpad. Any pointers will also be helpful if no one wants to maintain the PPA.
