I’m using arc theme (Darker variant), and I noticed that the theme used in desktop and websites, differs. I don’t know if this is normal:
Normal (Desktop)
Website (System lnf)
It may sound little stupid, but I think it’s theming problem because that doesn’t occurs with Pocillo. And I don’t see the strange ugly gnome default style hanging around, even on apps (I’ve used) using system lnf.
Strangely QogirBudgie also has the very same issue.
I think that websites (Which used the default system lnf) are using the default gnome look and feel slightly.
Qogir issues should be raised here: GitHub - vinceliuice/Qogir-theme: Qogir is a flat Design theme for GTK
Arc issues should be raised here: GitHub - jnsh/arc-theme: A flat theme with transparent elements (actively maintained fork)
When dealing with upstreams - make sure you are using the latest version from their repository - not the distro supplied version.
BTW, Isn’t arc theme mainly maintained by Mint team?
I think it’s really difficult to deal with these kind of issues, because the distro based ones can bring many focused improvements than upstream.
No - arc has now a dedicated maintainer. Mint forked arc to created mint-x/y
Distros when dealing with themes most often just ship upstream releases - possibly with fixes that were released upstream post a release.
