Arc Theme on Ubuntu 16.04 looks weird

I just installed Arc theme on Ubuntu 16.04 using version for ubuntu 15.10 (that's what's available on creator's website: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme)

Here's how it looks on my setup:

Arc theme issue

I activated this theme using Unity Tweak Tool.

Firstly in Nautilus the left panel looks weird - it should also be transparent. Secondly every window gets a little thicker just below titlebar on both sides.

Do you know if there's a way to fix it? I really like this theme, probably best available.


Solution 1:

Hello follow the guide manual guide in https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme I was having the same problem but its solved now.

Solution 2:

Run following Commands,

sudo apt install git gnome-themes-standard gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf

mkdir ~/.themes; cd ~/.themes/ && rm -rf Arc*

git clone https://github.com/sagarpanchal/arc-theme-ubuntu.git

cp -r arc-theme-ubuntu/Arc* . && rm -rf arc-theme-ubuntu

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Arc-Darker'

After running above commands, open unity tweaks and change your theme!
