rm -rf ~/.themes/{Arc-Flatabulous,Arc-Flatabulous-Darker,Arc-Flatabulous-Dark,Arc-Flatabulous-Solid,Arc-Flatabulous-Darker-Solid,Arc-Flatabulous-Dark-Solid}
#### Packages
Arch Linux users can install the theme from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-arc-flatabulous-theme-git/
#### Manual Installation
To build the theme you'll need
* `autoconf`
* `automake`
* `pkg-config` or `pkgconfig` for Fedora
* `libgtk-3-dev` for Debian based distros or `gtk3-devel` for RPM based distros
* `git` to clone the source directory
**Note:** For distributions which don't ship separate development packages, just the GTK 3 package is needed instead of the `-dev` packages.
For the theme to function properly, install the following
* GNOME Shell 3.14 - 3.24, GTK 3.14 - 3.22
* The `gnome-themes-standard` package
* The murrine engine. This has different names depending on the distro.
* `gtk-engine-murrine` (Arch Linux)
* `gtk2-engines-murrine` (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)
* `gtk-murrine-engine` (Fedora)
* `gtk2-engine-murrine` (openSUSE)
* `gtk-engines-murrine` (Gentoo)
Install the theme with the following commands
**1. Get the source**
If you want to install the latest version from git, clone the repository with
git clone https://github.com/andreisergiu98/arc-flatabulous-theme && cd arc-flatabulous-theme
**2. Build and install the theme**
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
Other options to pass to autogen.sh are
--disable-transparency disable transparency in the GTK3 theme
--disable-light disable Arc Light support
--disable-darker disable Arc Darker support
--disable-dark disable Arc Dark support
--disable-cinnamon disable Cinnamon support
--disable-gnome-shell disable GNOME Shell support
--disable-gtk2 disable GTK2 support
--disable-gtk3 disable GTK3 support
--disable-metacity disable Metacity support
--disable-unity disable Unity support
--disable-xfwm disable XFWM support
--with-gnome=<version> build the theme for a specific GNOME version (3.14, 3.16, 3.18, 3.20, 3.22)
Note 1: Normally the correct version is detected automatically and this
option should not be needed.
Note 2: For GNOME 3.24, use --with-gnome-version=3.22
(this works for now, the build system will be improved in the future)
After the installation is complete you can activate the theme with `gnome-tweak-tool` or a similar program by selecting `Arc-Flatabulous`, `Arc-Flatabulous-Darker` or `Arc-Flatabulous-Dark` as Window/GTK+ theme and `Arc-Flatabulous` or `Arc-Flatabulous-Dark` as Gnome-Shell and Xfce-Notify theme.
If the `--disable-transparency` option was used, the theme will be installed as `Arc-solid`, `Arc-Darker-solid` and `Arc-Dark-solid`.
**Uninstall the theme**
Run
sudo make uninstall
from the same directory as this README resides in, or
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc-Flatabulous,Arc-Flatabulous-Darker,Arc-Flatabulous-Dark,Arc-Flatabulous-Solid,Arc-Flatabulous-Darker-Solid,Arc-Flatabulous-Dark-Solid}

#### Arc-Dark for Ubuntu Software Center
The Arc Dark theme for the Ubuntu Software Center by [mervick](https://github.com/mervick) can be installed from [here](https://github.com/mervick/arc-dark-software-center). It solves readability issues with Arc Dark and the Ubuntu Software Center.
### Troubleshooting
If you use Ubuntu with a newer GTK/GNOME version than the one included by default (i.e Ubuntu 14.04 with GTK 3.14 or Ubuntu 15.04 with GTK 3.16, etc.) the prebuilt packages won't work properly and the theme has to be installed manually as described above.
This is also true for other distros with a different GTK/GNOME version than the one included by default
If you get artifacts like black or invisible backgrounds under Unity, disable overlay scrollbars with
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
