arc-kde's Issues

New version tag

Hi. It seems that some new important fixes arrived.
Should we tag new version for packaging? Or lets switch to git-date-rolling, like Papirus?

Release version naming.

Приветствую.
В наименовании версии есть тире: 2017.01.10-r46, что изрядно портит процесс опакечивания в deb и rpm. Тире нельзя использовать непосредственно в версии, оно юзается для отделения номера билда в rpm или архитектуры в deb.
Поэтому, приходится в ручную переименовывать версию, что тоже не очень.
Можно это исправить? Как варианты - тильда: ~ или забой: _

Wireshark highlighted packet/text white

Hello guys!

Just installed Arc theme for my desktop, but if I select a package/or text in Wireshark with Qt(GTK version of Wireshark works perfectly), text change to white and it's unreadable. I tried to change color scheme in Wireshark, and System Settings, but nothing works:

plasma theme

is this a arc-kde plasma theme, or does it work only with kvantum.

my wish is to make a arc plasma theme with color scheme and so on and than a arc look and feel package. I'd like also to work on it, so that my vision get real.

[Suggestion] could we have an option to have these window controls?

Hello, I love everything about this theme besides the window controls. I'd like to have an option to pick these instead (just those three buttons, minimize, maximize and close).

It's already here but it doesn't work like this one. https://github.com/andreisergiu98/arc-flatabulous-theme

Opaque menu border in Neon with Qt 5.9

i had installed Arc-KDE and Kvantum from papirus PPA. Yesterday Qt 5.9 was pushed to Neon User edition and now the menu borders look like this

Arc KDE in the AUR

Has Arc KDE been removed from the AUR?

Highlight active button when using keyboard with Kvantum and Qt-based applications

When using one of the Arc themes for Kvantum, the active button (which can be changed with the arrow keys or TAB on the keyboard) is never highlighted, which makes keyboard navigation difficult. I only have this problem with Qt-based applications.

However, when I'm in a GTK+ application or using the built-in Kvantum theme, dotted lines indicate the active button, which would be the expected behaviour.

I'm using Manjaro Linux with KDE Plasma 5.10.3 and Qt 5.9.1.

How to fix menu bar

i get some error

sudo sh ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Arc-Dark/fix-menubar.sh

sh: 0: Can't open /home/zahidcode/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Arc-Dark/fix-menubar.sh

how to fix that ?

Too small window title bar since ~2 weeks

This started about 2 weeks ago. Don't know if it is a recent update in Plasma or something but the default title bars from KDE (breeze, oxygen etc.) work without problems. Any clues what could be wrong?

I use Arch Linux, up-to-date packages, kvantum is enabled.

Desktop icon background stays after overlay

This background stays after switching to original theme.

I suppose it has something to do with the fact that the papirus gpg key is empty. How can I fix this?

Last update broke audio tray icon in Arc-Color

After I did update today I have no audio tray icon on two machines in Plasma.

Menus seem oddly aligned

This doesn't seem right. There's way too much of a gap at the top and the left side is not aligned with the top menu highlight.

arc-kde 20170401-60+pkg3~ubuntu16.10.1 on Kubuntu 16.10

Hitbox of 'close-window' Button

On pretty much all (preinstalled) themes, being it Windows 'default' or under Linux 'KDE breeze' it is very comfortable to be able to quickly drag the mouse to the top-right corner (where the close button is) and press to close a window.

On Arc-KDE there is a small dead-zone just around the close-button so you actually have to hit the button kinda of more precise if you want to close a window. I've found myself wanting to crush my mouse for 'it's inaccuracy' quite some times now =/

Support kde color text scheme for icons

Will be good if we add support kde color text scheme for icons on Plasma theme

Arc KDE plasma theme can't be installed via "get new theme" from KDE Store

When one tries to install https://store.kde.org/p/1167639/ via "get new theme" in System settings it will silently fail. The reason is that arc-kde-plasma.tar.xz have two themes inside: Arc-Color and Arc-Dark.
They should be packed separately with different entries in KDE Store.

Desktop theme transparency

Hello,

Can we get a transparent desktop theme?

add arc-darker and borderless versions

If this is not too difficult, that would be a nice addition.

Suggestion : Battery Icon

Hi,

the theme is very very great, but I have some problem with the battery :/

It's very difficult to see if the pc is charging or not, can we do something ?

Without charging : https://vgy.me/2xAML3.png

With charging : https://vgy.me/hLGqxS.png

This is the only problem with this theme, we can't know the position of the battery.

And, do u think that we can do a red icon when the battery is critical ?

Thanks!

I'm trying to change every settings but noone works correctly. How i teel before, with breeze theme (dark and light) i have no problem, how i can resolve this?

Desktop pager's window outlines hidden by highlight color

Hi! Love the theme, it's working out great for me. One little hickup though! I like to use a the desktop pager widget on my panel. However, the outlines of opened windows on the pager are now hidden behind the blue highlighting of both the active desktop, and any desktop that is hovered over with the mouse.

edit: I installed from the ubuntu PPA, so perhaps this is already fixed in the latest build?

Steps to reproduce:
-Add a desktop pager widget to the panel.
-Add a virtual desktop so there are at least two.
-Open any application.

Expected results:
-On the pager, the rectangle representing the current desktop shows the outline of the opened window.

Actual results:
-The rectangle showing the current desktop is completely blue, and no window outlines can be seen.
-The outlines of any open windows on other desktops are similarly hidden when the mouse hovers over pager rectangle representing that desktop.

Note: In the default Breeze theme, there is a blue highlight, but it is transparent, allowing the outlines (and icons, if they are turned on) to be seen.

Transparency issues with window decorations when using blur

When "Blur" is activated under "System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop Effects" the transparency on the rounded edges of the window decoration becomes visible due to artifacts of the blurring. The issue is especially visible when the window is hovering over a high contrast background. This seems to be an issue with arc-kde rather than an upstream bug because the default "Breeze" theme does not show the issue

The image above illustrates the issue where there's an apparent hard edge where it should be rounded on the top left corner of the window.

Remove dependencies on konversation and yakuake

On a clean KDE Neon install, this what is added with arc-kde:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
arc-kde konversation konversation-data kvantum yakuake

Can you make the .deb package just place the theme files for those applications in the appropriate directories without forcing people to install their packages?

arc-kde-git doesn't show up in Application Style -> GTK settings

After installing arc-kde-git from the AUR, it doesn't show up, but other theme options are available like Window decorations and in Kvantum but it isn't in the GTK settings.

Splash change (sugestion)

This isn't a bug, but a sugestion..

The sugestion is change the background from splash initial to a black background.. like this:

Similar to current KDE splash

store.kde.org

Hi,

I'd like to upload a L&F package to the kde store. Therefore I would upload everything (color scheme, plasma theme, ...) in the kde store. I'm not sure if it's possible to have a team in the store. can I upload stuff in your name @varlesh or should I upload it with my account? I don't want to upload YOUR stuff under my account.

Deactivated title bar buttons behave incorrectly

The theme lacks icons for deactivated buttons, hence deactivated buttons are displayed like normal ones in active windows, while entirely disappear in inactive ones.

For example, in an active KCalc window, where the Maximize button is deactivated, it shows up as normal:

However, when the window is inactive, it disappears altogether:

Version with transparency turns some windows fully transparent

Somehow I don't think this is intentional, lol.

Aurorae themes broken?

That’s how they look on my system:

Is this expected?

An Arc Light theme

Can you do a light theme which has the original color palette of Arc theme (unlike Arc-Dark/er)?

Change icon theme?

I've noticed that in this image, a custom icon theme is used instead of the one that comes with Firefox.

I'd like to know if it's possible to do this in the latest stable version of FF (V50.1.0).

Border really thin, hard to grab

Here is comparison to breeze, take a look:

Using a different icon theme

After applying Arc Dark theme from System Settings → Workspace Theme → Look and Feel, the icons changed: In applications, there were no icons (beside buttons, for example).

I preferred the Breeze Dark icons to the ones that come with Arc. So, I changed icon theme back to Breeze Dark in System Settings.

However, Arc is still using whatever custom theme it uses, and Breeze is only applied in the applications.

Konsole menubar color problem

I've been having this weird color issue with the konsole menubar, any tips on how to fix it?
It's on arc transparent btw

Please add dependencies to Arc KDE look and feel theme

Since Plasma 5.9 you can specify dependencies in your look and feel theme. It will download all required resources from KDE Store.

Please add:

X-KPackage-Dependencies=kns://colorschemes.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/1167638,kns://plasma-themes.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/1167639,kns://aurorae.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/1167637,kns://icons.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/1166289

to your metadata.desktop

It will install:

Restore old Makefile for system-wide installation

Would you consider restoring the old Makefiles (merging and adapting them for this project) that used to exist in the old repository locations:

• https://github.com/varlesh/Arc-KDE
• https://github.com/varlesh/Arc-Dark-KDE

for an easy system-wide installation? Currently I only see an option to install and remove it from the user's home.

New package version scheme bug

Hi,
After last changes version scheme in PKGBUILD, Octopi still shows that the package is NOT up to date.
https://i.imgur.com/2Z9W2YM.png

I think issue is here in PKGBUILD:

pkgver() {
    cd "${srcdir}"
    printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

Becouse after makepkg -s "pkgver" is changed to "r."

Windows title is not centered properly

Distro: Arch Linux
DE: KDE 5.32.0 / Plasma 5.9.4
with kvantum
It seems that the title is centered according to the space apart from the windows buttons, which should be centered according to the whole title bar.

Battery icon missing in arc color theme

In Arc color theme battery icon in system tray is not visible.

Arc dark works fine though.

Margin of context menu.

Hello! First of all it is great work.

I have encountered margin of context menu. And all context menus has this margin. I do right click by on desktop or dolphin or another non-gtk application. Probably it's not an issue and it can be fixed by editing of a config from the project. But I don't which config should edited for correcting this margin.

I've attached screenshot for clearance

Thanks. Sorry if my english is not clear.

Eclipse themes not working

Hello,

Thank you for all your work.

I'm just setting up a new eclipse environment, and thought I'd take advantage of your wonderful work, however it doesn't seem to work. I followed the instructions, and the EPF imports ok, but it doesn't apply the colours:

I tried restarting with no luck. Do I need to force GTK 2 for this to work? I know that will then use the system GTK (I remember having trouble with other things before) but I know that's not the ideal solution if the GTK3 theme can be bludgeoned into submission :-)

Edit: I mistyped the topic, but can't change it, sorry.

[Aurorae] close button and maximized window

A click on the upper right pixel of the screen doesn't close a maximized window when using the Aurorae Arc theme. There is a 1 or 2 px difference between the close button and the edge. Maybe because the window corners are rounded and not rectangular. Anyway, it's very annoying :p

Slack tray icons?

If possible; thanks. :)

Safe clear Kvantum SVG's

Need clear kvantum SVG's for better perfomance

Incorrect network icon?

When network is disconnected, the tray icon should be white or black?

Buttons attached to the marge

The buttons are displayed correctly when the window is not 100%,

but the buttons are shown glued to the magen right when it is maximized.

I use plasma 5.8.6 lts

QSS Stylesheet?

I'm not familiar with theming enough to know if qss stylesheets would be useful enough or not, but some applications like SMPlayer seem to be able to use them to make similar changes that the active DE theme would do such as a windows background.

In my case I prefer a light theme but for some apps to have a dark theme. I was able to use Breeze Light and have SMPlayer use the PapirusDark theme, but it would not look like the screenshot. Turns out that you can create a style.qss file to place in the themes directory and get a dark styled app.

I'm not aware of any other way to apply a theme to an app different from the active one used for the rest of the DE/apps. I suggest it here as it may be useful for some other apps other than SMPlayer, users could then use the file maintained in this repo.

konsole color scheme broken

color0 and color7 have almost no contrast in both schemes. here an excerpt from the dark one:

[Background]
Color=56,60,74

[Color0]
Color=64,69,82

[Color7]
Color=39,44,53

also the intense colors are partly ugly neon…
