THIS ARTICLE IS OLD!

Horst3180 is no longer maintaining his github.

Nico Hoods is now carrying the torch.

ArcoLinux has a package called arcolinux-arc-themes-git. It provides 45 Arc themes not with the blue accent color but with a different accent color.

These themes have been created with a script named Arc-Theme-Colora hosted at https://github.com/erikdubois/Arc-Theme-Colora. We build upon the work of Horst3180 at https://github.com/horst3180.

Goal of script is

  • change blue accent into one of the 16 million colors
  • distro independent
  • easy to edit and change the scripts
  • follow the workflow from Horst3180
  • cutting-edge up-to-date – straight from the github

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, Budgie, Pantheon, XFCE, Mate, etc.

The script makes Arc Theme compatible with Openbox too.
