# Dark Arc

A dark theme for gitea with high contrast.



This theme was originally created by making a copy of `theme-arc-green.css` and making things darker for better contrast. Since then it has been rebased onto the gitea-dark theme for Gitea 1.22 compatibility.



If you make improvements/tweaks to this theme please send a pull request, or dump your changes in an issue report.

# Compatibility



This theme has been tested to work without issues on Gitea 1.22 and Forgejo 7.0.



## Before install, first you need to identify 3 things:



- Location of $GITEA_CUSTOM

- Location of app.ini ([Example app.ini](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-gitea/gitea/main/custom/conf/app.example.ini))

- User the gitea service runs as



Here is a screenshot of my environment and where to find this info:



![gitea-config](install.png)



## Create a public/assets/css directory under your gitea/custom path and download the theme.



Create `/public/assets/css` below your $GITEA_CUSTOM path, MY custom path is `/var/lib/gitea/custom`, as seen in the [install screenshot](install.png).



    sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea/custom/public/assets/css

    cd /var/lib/gitea/custom/public/assets/css

    curl -o theme-dark-arc.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jieiku/theme-dark-arc-gitea/main/theme-dark-arc.min.css



## Make sure ownership is correct:



Set ownership of your $GITEA_CUSTOM directory and files, I set ownership to git because gitea runs as user git, as seen in the [install screenshot](install.png).



    sudo chown -R git:git /var/lib/gitea/custom



## Edit the app.ini config file to include dark-arc theme:



The app.ini file location may differ depending on environment, this matches the location of my file, as seen in the [install screenshot](install.png).



`sudo nano /var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini`



    [ui]

    DEFAULT_THEME = dark-arc

    THEMES = gitea,dark-arc



## Restart gitea service



    sudo systemctl restart gitea



    *or*



    sudo reboot



The theme may automatically be active now, but if not click your avatar in top right, click settings, click appearance tab, select the theme and click update theme button.



## Notes



### assets:



As of [1.21.0](https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.21.0/#%EF%B8%8F-move-public-asset-files-to-the-proper-directory-25907) `/assets` now points to `custom/public/assets/*` instead of `custom/public/*`



So for me my directory structure is:



`/var/lib/gitea/custom/public/assets/css/theme-dark-arc.css`



### You can set `config` and `custom-path` values when running gitea as a service:



```shell

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/gitea.service



ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gitea web --custom-path /var/lib/gitea/custom --config /var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini

```



### Organizations:



I created a feature request for a way to disable organizations because I don't use them.



I was promptly told to use css and my request was closed: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/19391



This theme can hide organizations related blocks/links using CSS, you can uncomment it at the bottom of the theme:



```css

#dashboard-repo-list > div > div:first-child {display: none !important}

a[href*="organizations"] {display: none !important}

.dashboard > .secondary-nav {display: none !important}

.milestones > .secondary-nav {display: none !important}

.issues > .secondary-nav {display: none !important}

```
