Did you use this repo? If yes, remove the repo with sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arc-theme.list, refresh your packages list with sudo apt-get update and install the theme from the official repositories with sudo apt-get install arc-theme.

I reinstalled it and it worked. Thanks!

Im having the same problem
I upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10 and arc was a mess like in the picture (No padding in menues, tabs, etc)
I tried to reinstall, remove, purge, etc. But nothing worked. Still, im having the same problem.
Any ideas?

[horst3180]

@guillecro I posted the solution above. https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/683#issuecomment-255041305

Hi @horst3180
But I did everything and still get the same errors.

I did
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arc-theme.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install arc-theme.

I also did

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}

And then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install arc-theme.

But still the same..
Maybe its something on my unity tweak options? I dont remember to have touched anything..
Or the GPU drivers? Its weird cause in 16.04 LTS I used to have everything working properly without problems... Any ideas?

[horst3180]

Hmm, try

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get --reinstall install arc-theme

or if that doesn't work

sudo apt-get remove arc-theme
sudo apt-get install arc-theme

I had the same problem, but @horst3180 's solution didn't work, I used
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
(from @guillecro )
and then sudo apt-get install arc-theme
which solved it for me :+1:
Thanks @guillecro for posting your process even if it didn't work for you :smile:

[guillecro]

Thanks @Drummersbrother and @horst3180 for your responses.
But I've tried and tried but nothing works...

I dont know what happened.. i might have to try, I dont know, reinstall Unity.. What do you think?

[R3D2]

Did have the same problem has @guillecro !

Fixed it with those commands...

sudo apt clean
sudo apt remove arc-theme
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
rm -rf ~/.themes/{Arc,Arc-Darker,Arc-Dark}
sudo apt install arc-theme

Then a little restart of the system, and done.
