I don't have the time anymore to maintain this properly.\n\n## SolArc is available in three variants\n### SolArc\n![A screenshot of the Arc theme](https://github.com/schemar/solarc-theme/blob/master/screenshots/preview-light.png?raw=true)\n\n### SolArc-Darker\n![A screenshot of the Arc-Darker theme](https://github.com/schemar/solarc-theme/blob/master/screenshots/preview-darker.png?raw=true)\n\n### SolArc-Dark\n![A screenshot of the Arc-Dark theme](https://github.com/schemar/solarc-theme/blob/master/screenshots/preview-dark.png?raw=true)\n\n## Installation\n### Arch Linux\nYou can install the AUR package: [gtk-theme-solarc-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-theme-solarc-git/)\n\n### Manual Installation\n**Important:** Remove all older versions of the theme from your system before you proceed any further.\n\n    sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{SolArc,SolArc-Darker,SolArc-Dark}\n    rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/{SolArc,SolArc-Darker,SolArc-Dark}\n    rm -rf ~/.themes/{SolArc,SolArc-Darker,SolArc-Dark}\n\nTo build the theme the following packages are required\n* `autoconf`\n* `automake`\n* `wget` for pulling the Arc source\n* `sassc` for GTK 3, Cinnamon, or GNOME Shell\n* `pkg-config` or `pkgconfig` for Fedora\n* `git` to clone the source directory\n* `optipng` for GTK 2, GTK 3, or XFWM\n* `inkscape` for GTK 2, GTK 3, or XFWM\n\nThe following packages are optionally required\n* `gnome-shell`for auto-detecting the GNOME Shell version\n* `libgtk-3-dev` for Debian based distros or `gtk3-devel` for RPM based distros, for auto-detecting the GTK3 version\n\n**Note:** For distributions which don't ship separate development packages, just the GTK 3 package is needed instead of the `-dev` packages.\n\nFor the theme to function properly, install the following\n* GNOME Shell 3.18 - 3.32, GTK 3.18 - 3.24\n* The `gnome-themes-extra` package\n* The murrine engine. This has different names depending on the distro.\n  * `gtk-engine-murrine` (Arch Linux)\n  * `gtk2-engines-murrine` (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)\n  * `gtk-murrine-engine` (Fedora)\n  * `gtk2-engine-murrine` (openSUSE)\n  * `gtk-engines-murrine` (Gentoo)\n\nInstall the theme with the following commands\n\n**1. Get the source**\n\nIf you want to install the latest version from git, clone the repository with\n\n    git clone https://github.com/schemar/solarc-theme --depth 1 \u0026\u0026 cd solarc-theme\n\n**2. Download \u0026 patch the Arc theme source**\n\n    ./solarize.sh\n\n**3. Build and install the patched theme**\n\n    cd arc-theme-[version]\n    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr\n    sudo make install\n\nOther options to pass to autogen.sh are\n\n    --disable-transparency         disable transparency in the GTK3 theme\n    --disable-light                disable Arc Light support\n    --disable-darker               disable Arc Darker support\n    --disable-dark                 disable Arc Dark support\n    --disable-cinnamon             disable Cinnamon support\n    --disable-gnome-shell          disable GNOME Shell support\n    --disable-gtk2                 disable GTK2 support\n    --disable-gtk3                 disable GTK3 support\n    --disable-metacity             disable Metacity support\n    --disable-unity                disable Unity support\n    --disable-xfwm                 disable XFWM support\n    --disable-plank                disable Plank theme support\n    --disable-openbox              disable Openbox support\n\n    --with-gnome-shell=\u003cversion\u003e   build the gnome-shell theme for a specific version\n    --with-gtk3=\u003cversion\u003e          build the GTK3 theme for a specific version\n                                   Note: Normally the correct version is detected automatically\n                                   and these options should not be needed.\n\nAfter the installation is complete the theme can be activated with `gnome-tweak-tool` or a similar program by selecting `SolArc`, `SolArc-Darker` or `SolArc-Dark` as Window/GTK+ theme and `SolArc` or `SolArc-Dark` as GNOME Shell/Cinnamon theme.\n\nIf the `--disable-transparency` option was used, the theme will be installed as `SolArc-solid`, `SolArc-Darker-solid` and `SolArc-Dark-solid`.\n\n**Uninstall the theme**\n\nRun\n\n    sudo make uninstall\n\nfrom the patched Arc source directory, or\n\n    sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{SolArc,SolArc-Darker,SolArc-Dark}\n\n## Contributing\nEvery contribution is very welcome! Please create an issue and/or a pull request.\n\n## Troubleshooting\nIf you have Ubuntu with a newer GTK/Gnome version than the one included by default (i.e Ubuntu 14.04 with GTK 3.14 or Ubuntu 15.04 with GTK 3.16, etc.) the prebuilt packages won't work properly and you have to install the theme manually as described above.\nThis is also true for other distros with a different GTK/Gnome version than the one included by default\n\n--\n\nIf you get artifacts like black or invisible backgrounds under Unity, disable overlay scrollbars with\n\n    gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal\n\n## Bug reporting\nIf you find a bug, please report it at https://github.com/schemar/solarc-theme/issues\n\n## License\nSolArc is available under the terms of the GPL-3.0.
