Description: Arc-Darkest-Frost is a flat, dark-mode theme with transparent elements, based on the Nord-Frost Color Scheme - for GTK, xfwm4, openbox-3, GNOME-Shell, and Cinnamon desktop environments. Arc-Darkest-Frost also has two varieties of matching Icons and Folders.
The Nord developers describe the scheme as consisting of "an arctic, north-bluish color palette, created for the clean and uncluttered design pattern to achieve a optimal focus and readability for code syntax highlighting and UI components." In total, Nord is made up of sixteen, prudently crafted, "dimmed pastel colors for a eye-comfortable, but yet colorful ambiance." (nordtheme.com)
Special thanks to Sven Greb and the Nord team at: https://www.nordtheme.com/community#content, for initially advancing Nord, and for critical inspiration.
Special thanks to horst3180 at: https://github.com/horst3180/Arc-theme, for initially advancing Arc, and for inspiration. Further thanks to NicoHood at: https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme, for keeping Arc alive and great, more currently.
This is the matching desktop theme. FOR ICONS & FOLDERS PRESS DEFAULT IMAGE ABOVE.
Both the Suru++ and the Numix icons and folders have been carefully crafted to match the new Arc-Darkest-Nord-Frost desktop scheme, but they can surely compliment other desktop themes that sport matching color hues.
Special thanks to the Numix team for their inspiration, expertise and contributions at: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme. The Suru-grounded icon set was initially designed and developed by Sam Hewitt - under GPL3. The original Suru icon set and concept was created by Matthieu James - Canonical Design Team. Core developers are Andrea Bonanni (original author) and Gustavo Costa . Devices icons are inspired by La Capitaine created by Keefer Rourke - under GPL3/MIT. Emoji icons are derived from the Twenoji created by Twitter Team - under MIT. Some icons are based on Numix mimetypes icons created by the Numix Team - under GPL3. Devices and places icons and several apps icons are inspired by Papirus icons created by Alexey Varfolomeev - under GPL3. Numberless icons are from Gravit Designer, under GPL3/MIT.
Manual Installation Is Easy:
For themes: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.themes/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/themes/" folder - for the theme to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable it for your desktop.
If installing manually, make sure to install the dependency: "Murrine theme engine" if you do not already have it; and update your GTK+packages if you have not.
For icons: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.icons/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/icons/" folder - for the icons and folders to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable them for your desktop.
Logging out and then logging back in may be necessary on some operating systems to fully implement themes and icons.Last changelog:
This very very cool, I'm glad I stopped by the theme store today! I have been using you all's 'colors' version of 'blue' for the past few months. This one is kind of like that blue one over there, but (I think) the frost is nicer. The background color on this one seems slightly realized too. Thank you for doing this one!
Thanks for trying the theme! This theme is 100% GTK. There is no Qt or crossover support available, currently. The developers are just sticking with their specialties, on this one, while it's still new(ish).
Hi, I'm the rtl88 developer for that theme. I'm sure you are kidding, there are 527 lines of code on the config file and 1221 lines on the .svg file. There are gradients to consider as well. We are exclusively a GTK team, you should find someone who does those themes - it'll be their expertise. Good luck!
