### Requirements
* Gnome/GTK 3.14 or 3.16
* The `gnome-themes-standard` package
* The `gtk2-engines-pixbuf` package only for Debian/Ubuntu based distros.
* The murrine engine. This has different names depending on your distro.
* `gtk-engine-murrine` (Arch Linux)
* `gtk2-engines-murrine` (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)
* `gtk-murrine-engine` (Fedora)
* `gtk2-engine-murrine` (openSUSE)

Main distributions that meet these requirements are
* Arch Linux and Arch Linux based distros
* Ubuntu 15.04
* elementary OS Freya
* Debian Jessie, Testing or Unstable
* Gentoo
* Fedora 21 and 22
* OpenSuse 13.2 and Tumbleweed
Derivatives of these distributions should work, aswell.
If your distribution is not listed, please check the requirements yourself.
### Installation
**Important:** Remove all older versions of the theme from your system before you proceed any further.
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Arc
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/Arc
rm -rf ~/.themes/Arc
**Packages**
Prebuilt packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE are available at
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme
**Note:** elementary OS Freya users can install the package for Ubuntu 15.04
Arch Linux users can install the theme from the AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-theme-arc-git/
**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-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
--disable-xfce-notify disable XFCE Notify support
--disable-transparency disable transparency in the GTK3 theme
--with-gnome=<version> build the theme for a specific Gnome version (3.14, 3.16)
Note: Normally the correct version is detected automatically and this
option should not be needed.
After the installation is complete you can activate the theme with `gnome-tweak-tool` or a similar program by selecting `Arc`.
**Uninstall the theme**
Run
sudo make uninstall
from the same directory as this README resides in, or
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Arc
### 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 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
