arc-theme-generator's Issues

Colour Adjustment Skip

Issue
When running the script, it seems to skip some colours.
Primarily the top bar and the radio buttons.

Note the toolbar colour as well as the missing radio buttons.

Things I have tried.
The exact same steps, excluding the script itself.
Works fine, aside from colours changing, obviously.

Both of the black and grey variants, which results in the same problem.

Adding the No Assets flag, makes the radio buttons/toolbar work, but 80% of the theme will be in the default Arc-Theme colour.

Appications affected
Radio and checkmark buttons appear to be globally missing, which is the real problem.
I use 'Lxappearance' to manage the theme and that is the client in the screenshot. Only the preview displays the toolbar though.
'Ark' seems to have the uncoloured tool bar as well as a few other applications.

Notable environment factors:
Arch Linux
I3
No primary DE.
