gnome-shell Arc-Dark button/icon/text color

[mbacou]

Just installed arc-theme_20190917+git20200328-2_all.deb on Ubuntu 19.10, Gnome 3.34.2.

Everything is OK on Gnome Shell Arc an Arc Light variants, but on the Arc Dark variant, there are a few button/icon/text color problems:

Thank you for maintaining this fantastic theme!

Thank you for the report.

I'm fairly sure the issue here is that the GNOME Shell theme is built for wrong version. The shell theme usually requires major changes for between GNOME releases, and for that reason the correct gnome-shell version has to be determined at build time.

I'm quite sure the arc-theme_20190917+git20200328-2_all.deb Debian package is built for GNOME 3.36, so it shouldn't look correct when used with GNOME 3.34.

Either try updating to GNOME 3.36, or build the theme yourself with --with-gnome-shell=3.34 build option.

OK thanks, will try that!

Here is a report with arc-theme_20190917+git20200328-2_all.deb on Ubuntu 20-04, Gnome 3.36.1.

Only noticeable problem is wth the OpenWeather extension. I assume it's missing some more contrasting icon/text colors?

Thx!

Thanks, I can reproduce the problem with the OpenWeather extension also. However, the same problem seems to be present when using the default gnome-shell theme as well, and has been reported for the extension here.

I'd imagine the icon/text colors could be fixed from the theme as well, until the extension is updated. Looks like the mouse-over effect for the OpenWeather extension buttons could also be improved/should have a border. I'll investigate these once I got some more urgent things sorted out.

The OpenWeather extension text color is finally fixed with 2f38b0d:

There's some chance that future changes to the extension might break the styling again. Please let me know if that ever happens, or if you encounter any other issues. Also, the mouseover effect for the bottom button is still a bit off, but I couldn't figure out a workaround for them unfortunately.

Thanks again for the report.
