Hello, i'm using elementary OS freya
and i have this issue

Tabbing through dialogs for example (like in the screenshot where "Cancel" is focused) doesn't highlight them.

Ubuntu Server 15.05 64-bit + Xfce4
Fresh install

The picture is probably a more helpful description than words:

Well , i have this issue with a lot of apps like Vocal in eOS

the headbar is fully transparent

When using gtk 2 apps, the window's title from unfocused windows look awful.

Hello!

Fabulous theme, thanks!

However, I have found an incompatibility between the shell theme and the Topicons extension.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/

The shell restarts once at every login or unlock when the extension is on. The shell can even crash altogether if the extension is started manually in the tweak tool.

Don't know if it is the theme or the extension at fault...

The background color of the wingpanel (elementary) is not transparent. I attach a screenshoot of a clean workspace running gala, plank and wingpanel.

Nice theme, but I cant get global dark theme to work

In the Wi-Fi dropdown menu, there is some kind of discoloration right in the middle, looks like a messed up shadow of some kind. (Plus I made a few mods to the theme in the screenshot, but ignore those.)

When passing the mouse through the notification items, the effect is really weird/ugly.

OS: Ubuntu 15.04 x64
Desktop Manager: Unity

Hi there,

i just wondering if is possible to add more shadow to gtk3 windows ?

something like in gtk2 apps?

btw this theme is amazing, i love it....
thanks mate

There is this transparency glitch when watching videos on the native elementaryOS video player. Either the video playback is transparency or the video player itself turned transparency.
I am 100% positiv that is caused by Arc-theme, because this glitch won't appear in elementary's stock theme.

On Fedora 22 on some applications close button is missing. Some applications like tweak-tool, file manager have the close button. Terminal, Firefox and others doesn't have it.

Without hinting:

With hinting:

Hopefully you can see the font difference in the top bar (specifically the date). I noticed that with hinting looks like the default shell theme without hinting and without hinting looks like the default shell theme with hinting. I'm not 100% if this is a problem with the theme or with gnome shell (this is gnome shell 3.16.2 by the way on Arch)

Could you add a --disable-transparency, like in the other options?
I like the theme, but I'm not a big fan of the see-through window borders/sidebar/etc.

When I have my buttons set up as close on the left and minimize on the right, GTK3 apps show that both are close buttons

It's white color, I love white color, but this one is different, It hurts my eyes.

The space from the menu dialogs is HUGE, and it is worst if those menus have icos.

A donation button somewhere to keep you a motivated and some people are surely willing do give you a small tip (please not in the gtk theme)

Platform: Ubuntu 15.04 x64
Desktop Manager: Unity

Expectation: There should not be white artifacts around the round edges of the History Search input box.

I think it's probably a better idea to at least make Gtk.Entry boxes less rounded and more square. It doesn't visually fit very well, and the cursor bar quite often almost overlaps the curves and looks quite ugly.

I'm getting the following error:

$ git rev-list --tags --max-count=1
usage: git rev-list [OPTION] ... [ -- paths... ]

also, there is no release to download from here: https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/releases

I'm using the branch for 3.14, with Debian on 3.14. When a window regains focus, the internal part changes it's colour to that of the window border again.

On a side note: I'm not sure it it's just me, but the distance between the window options seem just a bit too far apart from each other. Is that indented?

Nemo is a popular, advanced file manager developed by the Linux Mint team. Arc theme looks great with it, however the sidebar is not transparent. See screenshot.

Even after disabling overlay scrollbars the background in Gedit is black:
http://i.imgur.com/AGddJ7d.png
I can't see the problem elsewhere (this is usually related to tabs/tab backgrounds) but considering that overlay scrollbars are a major feature of the DE, and Gedit a core Gnome app, I thought it worth reporting.

the color of the desktop-icons-text is white, without shadow the text is not readable on a bright background image.

Solution (add text-shadow):

.nautilus-desktop.nautilus-canvas-item, .nemo-desktop.nemo-canvas-item {
  color: #ffffff;  
text-shadow: 1 1 alpha (@fg_color, 0.8); }

You see:
The lower right corner of geary in front of a firefox window.

They just don't show - I'm looking at the gtk-contained.css (line 1387 and following) but it doesn't seem to have any effects at all.

Self-explanatory title.

Would be great, as Cinnamon has very few good themes.

Probably wouldn't be too hard either since the DEs are very similar technologically, but I wouldn't know.

Window titles are cut off at the bottom and show up without descenders - the lower parts of the letters g,j,p,q and y in most fonts. Is there a way to adjust this? See screenshot. My window title font is set to Futura-Book Book, 10px.

Thanks for an otherwise beautiful theme.

Hi,
I ve started to use ur theme and indeed it is awesome. I see only 2 problem and both about fonts.

First, Desktop shotcuts' fonts dont have shadow and shortcuts name blend over open color backgrounds

For the second, I attached a screenshot. The extension's fonts and symbols are so similiar to background.

Best regards.

I noticed some strange looking shapes for drop down boxes ( in the sidebar and header) in Libreoffice , I've also noticed this potential deformation with Shutter with the delay timer. I was wondering if this is a design choice or a bug?

My OS is ubuntu 15.04 with GNOME 3.14 and i pulled the Arc theme from Git today (1/6/15)

I'm not seeing transparency in Unity. Is this a bug/feature or just me?

Beautiful theme - thank you.

I'd like to know what is the Icons theme and Font you use in this preview screenshot?

Would it be possible to add support for transparency in pantheon terminal? I'm not sure if this still works.

That is indeed a minimize button and works as such. The one in the back is a firefox (non-csd)
It happens in all CSD windows:

Hello @horst3180 I have seen that Pantheon files has an issue on it's sidebar, can you fix it?

Hello,
I wasn't sure how to contact you. I really love you new theme and would like to feature it on oduso. We already include your vertex theme. I just saw that you provide a repository on opensuse. Currently the script downloads the zip from deviantart and moves it into the system theme directory. I will do some testing in freya and adjust the website.

Could you please inform me when your new Arc theme is also available from the repo? I can then add it to oduso. By clicking on the image you can see a brief description and a link to the theme page.
Cheers,
lorenzbi

As can be seen in the attached screenshot, the text in the Pantheon Files navigation bar is not very legible. I also guess the bar is not as transparent as in the screenshots? I think it looks better when it would be more transparent.
Love this theme BTW! Looks very polised overall :)

I'm on Arch + Gnome 3.16, "show images" buttons are unreadable.

I encountered a very noticeable bug concerning the Youtube player Minitube.
The application's search boxes contain gray rectangles (one being darker than the other). Moreover there is a white rectangular background around the top search box.

Additional Information

Minitube is written in Qt and the theme is applied by selecting "Gtk+" in the GUI Style section of qtconfig-qt4. If I am not mistaken, Qt apps deduce the GTK style from the GTK2 section of a theme.

I am using the Gala window manager on Arch Linux if that makes any difference. My setup consists almost exclusively of Gnome, Pantheon, Budgie or other GTK applications. The only exceptions being Minitube and Okular, for which I simply cannot find worthy GTK equivalents 😆

That leads me to another interesting point: This problem does not occur in Okular's seach dialog, as can bee seen in the attached screenshot:

I know that Qt compatibility is probably not among the highest priorities so far. That being said I have been using your Vertex and Ceti themes because not only they look great (which they do indeed!) but also because they are the most complete and bug free themes across all applications and window toolkits 👍

I would love to see the Arc theme keeping up those quality standards of yours, once progress on more essential things has been made 😉

For elementary OS.

Check https://code.launchpad.net/egtk for an example.

All elements have a dotted border.I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 unity.

When there are no tabs open on Gedit, it is completely transparent. To reproduce:

• Open Gedit
• Press Control+W to close the tab

While this is pretty cool, I'm not sure its very user friendly... 😄
