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 theme was 2020's most popular theme, as it has been for the past couple of years, according to major sources: (August 2, 2020) 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.Last changelog:
22-11-20: Version 1.5
This updater introduces bleeding edge version 3.38 for both SLATE flavors, to accommodate major changes in the newest operating systems. Modifications to the new 3.38 version include 478 adjustments versus earlier version. This exhaustive upgrade was due to recent shifts in the GTK/GNOME ecosystem, namely the arrival of GNOME 3.38. Since most users are still on earlier versions, the original variant will still be retained, and refreshed, for the foreseeable future. Commit: 3e084a
10This theme is champion! A minor issue is when using the terminal with multiple tabs. The tab in focus doesn't stand out well enough. Hope you would have time to fix this issue. Thanks
This theme got a "10" rating from me - like most others also put here. Furthermore no one else here wants you to change the perfectly "normal" dark panel. Hence, please ignore the odd request from the person below me. I LOVE THIS THEME - AND HAVE BECOME DEPENDENT ON IT. Bless your team!!
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.

Really nice, but "Activities" bar I would have preferred it in line with the colors of the theme
My eyes dazzle after the darkgray themes. This is not the case with blue shades. Thank you.
Yes, it is that way with me, after a long session, too. Thanks for the support!
