# Arc Theme
|
|
|
|
Arc is a flat theme with transparent elements for GTK 3, GTK 2 and GNOME Shell which supports GTK 3 and GTK 2 based desktop environments like GNOME, Unity, Pantheon, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon (>=3.4) etc.
|
|
|
|
The NicoHood/arc-theme repository is a soft-fork of the upstream horst3180/arc-theme repository.
|
|
Its aim is to continue the maintenance of arc-theme. The two maintainers are the Arch-Linux and Debian & Ubuntu packaging maintainers.
|
|
|
|
It is strongly encouraged to submit pull-requests to suggest fixes and enhancements.
|
|
|
|
## Arc is available in three variants

### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
To build the theme the follwing packages are required
|
|
* `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 3.18 - 3.26, GTK 3.18 - 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
|
|
|
|
Clone the git 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
|
|
--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 (3.18, 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 and 3.26, use --with-gnome-version=3.22
|
|
(this works for now, the build system will be improved in the future)
|
|
|
|
After the installation is complete the theme can be activated with `gnome-tweak-tool` or a similar program by selecting `Arc`, `Arc-Darker` or `Arc-Dark` as Window/GTK+ theme and `Arc` or `Arc-Dark` as GNOME Shell/Cinnamon theme.
|
|
|
|
If the `--disable-transparency` option was used, the theme will be installed as `Arc-solid`, `Arc-Darker-solid` and `Arc-Dark-solid`.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall

|
|
Run
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
from the cloned git repository, or
