Description:

Arc-Dark-SLATE is the new flat, dark-mode theme with a distinct, slate-blue hue. Sporting transparent elements, this new theme accomidates GTK, xfwm4, openbox-3, GNOME-Shell, and Cinnamon desktop environments. Arc-Dark-SLATE also has an extra dark variant, as well as, two varieties of matching Icons and Folders to be released within days.

Arc theme was 2019's most popular theme, as it has been for the past couple of years, according to major sources: (August 2, 2019) https://www.ubuntupit.com/top-15-best-gnome-shell-themes-gnome-desktop. For this reason, the developers have taken mindful care to keep every element in line with what Arc fans would appreciate. The result, we believe, delivers maximum comfort and readability to users; while simultaneously looking robust and elegant.


Special thanks to horst3180 at: https://github.com/horst3180/Arc-theme, for initially advancing Arc, and for inspiration. Further thanks to NicoHood at: https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme, for keeping Arc alive and great, more currently.


Manual Installation Is Easy:

1) Extract the "zip" file into your "~/.themes/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/themes/" folder - for the theme to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable it for your desktop.

Logging out and then logging back in may be necessary on some operating systems to fully implement themes.

Looking forward to the new icons, I hope they're as complete as your main arc icons. This is, as the person below stated, "a very clean looking theme." A highly pleasing shade of slate-blue.

Thank you; they are the matching icons & folders that will be released in five days (they just didn't make it into this week's update). There will also be two varieties, Dark & Extra-Dark, to choose from.

27-03-20: Version 1.4.2 2 months ago

Both variants received updates. Arc-Dark-SLATE and Arc-Extra-Dark-SLATE were modified to have the respective SLATE hue replace the white hue vis-a-vis sliders and scrollbars. Additionally, Arc-Extra-Dark-SLATE saw changes for primary button elements, to better coordinate with the hex values of the rest of the theme variant. Here, hues were muted (saturation and hex values reduced), in order to achieve desired effect. Commit: 7615c0

19-03-20: Version 1.4.1 2 months ago

Both variants received modifications. Here, the GTK2 tool-tips element was changed from a white background with dark slate text to a dark slate background with off-white text. Additionally, the GNOME-Shell had the base slate-blue hue applied to app indicator elements, where they used to be white. Commit: 4f6ae0

17-01-20: Version 1.4 4 months ago

272 modifications, across all platforms, to improve definition, as well as, enhance menu functionality. Commit: 1288a4
