**Manual Installation**
|
|
|
|
To build the theme you need
|
|
* `autoconf`
|
|
* `automake`
|
|
* `pkg-config` or `pkgconfig` if you use Fedora
|
|
* `libgtk-3-dev` for Debian based distros or `gtk3-devel` for RPM based distros
|
|
* `git` if you want to clone the source directory
|
|
|
|
If your distributions doesn't ship separate development packages you just need GTK 3 instead of the `-dev` packages.
|
|
|
|
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/horst3180/arc-theme --depth 1 && cd arc-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
|
|

|
|
|
|
After the installation is complete you can activate the theme with `gnome-tweak-tool` or a similar program by selecting `Arc`, `Arc-Darker` or `Arc-Dark` as Window/GTK+ theme and `Arc` as Gnome-Shell and Xfce-Notify theme.
|
|
|
|
**Uninstall the theme**
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
|
|
sudo make uninstall
|
|
|
|
from the same directory as this README resides in, or
|
|
|
|
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
|
|
|
|
### Extras
|
|
|
|
The `extra` directory in the same directory as this README resides in contains a Chrome/Chromium and a Plank theme.
|
|
|
|
To install the Chrome/Chromium theme go to the `extra/Chrome` folder and drag and drop the arc-theme.crx or arc-dark-theme.crx file into the Chrome/Chromium window. The source of the Chrome themes is located in the source "Chrome/arc-theme" folder.
|
|
|
|
To install the Plank theme, copy the `extra/Arc-Plank` folder to `~/.local/share/plank/themes` or to `/usr/share/plank/themes` for system-wide use.
|
|
Now open the Plank preferences window by executing `plank --preferences` from a terminal and select `Arc-Plank` as the theme.
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you get artifacts like black or invisible backgrounds under Unity, disable overlay scrollbars with
|
|
|
|
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
|
|
|
