Now, it’s time to enjoy the theme system wide.

Installing the theme

Run the following command(s) according to your Linux distro.

• Ubuntu

sudo apt install arc-theme

• Debian

sudo apt-get install arc-theme

• Fedora

sudo dnf install arc-theme

• Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S arc-gtk-theme

• Other distros

If your distro wasn’t listed here, you have to follow the instructions on this page. You have to build it from source. Run these commands in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme --depth 1
cd arc-theme

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install

There are also other customizable options available during the build of the theme.

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --custom-argument

Available options:

--disable-xfwm
--disable-metacity
--disable-gtk2
--disable-gtk3
--disable-unity
--disable-transparency

Activating the theme

Even if the theme is installed successfully, it’s still not activated. You have to activate it from your distro’s theme settings. There are lots of available desktop environments, but the most popular ones are GNOME, XFCE4, and KDE.

The easiest way to find out the proper option is to search from the “Apps” menu. After activating, enjoy the awesome Arc theme.
