This is a fork of arc-theme. I just regenerated the assets I needed by modifying the scripts. Install from the archive to have it in 192 DPI or build it yourself to set any DPI value.
The easiest method to install the hidpi theme in
- Download the archive.
- Extract it to
/usr/share/themes. - Choose between Light, Darker or Dark in
Settings -> Windows Manager -> Style. - Also apply the theme in
Settings -> Appearance -> Style.
I did it on Arch Linux and I followed the manual installation.
Requirements on Arch Linux:
- autoconf
- automake
- pkgconf
- gtk3
- git
- inkscape
- official arc theme (cloned in a local directory)
If you don't want to rebuild the assets (which allows you to set any DPI value you want), clone this repository and start from step 5.
We will delete the assets that we want to regenerate.
rm -f common/xfwm4/assets{,-dark}/*.png
rm -f common/gtk-2.0/assets{,-dark}/*.png
rm -f common/gtk-3.0/3.22/assets/*.png
The three scripts we want to edit and run:
common/gtk-3.0/3.22/render-assets.shcommon/gtk-2.0/render-assets.shcommon/xfwm4/render-assets.sh
We need to add --export-dpi=192 on inkscape commands. You can change 192 by any value you want. The scripts for gtk-2.0 and xfwm4 are similar: you need to add this option twice per script. In gtk-3.0 it's a little bit different, they already generate a HiDPI version suffixed by "@2" but I guess that this only works on GNOME. Thus I just added the --export-dpi=192 on the first one.
The scripts have been made to work well with inkscape 0.9, the option --export-png has been replaced by --export-filename. Here's a command to apply this change in all scripts:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/--export-file/--export-filename/g' {} \;
Simply run this command:
for d in common/{xfwm4,gtk-2.0,gtk-3.0/3.22}; do ( cd "$d" && ./render-assets.sh );done
Then your local folder should be the same than this repo.
In my case, I only rebuilded the assets for gtk2, gtk3 and xfwm4 so I exclude the other desktop engines. Also, I use GTK 3.24 which is not supported yet by arc-theme so I force the GTK version to 3.22.
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-cinnamon --disable-gnome-shell --disable-metacity --disable-unity --with-gnome=3.22
Finally write the theme to the system:
sudo make install
- Choose between Light, Darker or Dark in
Settings -> Windows Manager -> Style. - Also apply the theme in
Settings -> Appearance -> Style.
Run
sudo make uninstall
from the cloned git repository, or
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
A port of Arc for the Plasma 5 desktop with a few additions and extras. Available here.
A theme for Firefox is available at https://github.com/horst3180/arc-firefox-theme
The Arc icon theme is available at https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-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.
The Arc Dark theme for the Ubuntu Software Center by mervick can be installed from here. It solves readability issues with Arc Dark and the Ubuntu Software Center.
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
