Arc-theme: Add support for Cinnamon 3.2

[bendovercz]

Recently released Cinnamon 3.2 uses .menu instead of .popup-menu and .popup-menu-boxpointer according to https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5917.

[joaojotta]

Cant wait for this fix. It's the little things that drive me nut! ):

[Madh93]

Thanks for finding the problem :smile:

[joaojotta]

This is the bug we're talking about, right?

[Madh93]

@joaojotta yes, and menu and other applets too. You can replace all .pop-menu and .popup-menu-boxpointer to .menu in cinnamon css to solve this problem.

[joaojotta]

Already did but it didn't fix it.
I mean: it all becomes transparent except for text and buttons.

[horst3180]

I'm working on a fix right now. The menu thing isn't the only change required for 3.2, though.

[joaojotta]

Many thanks!!

[jmauss]

Looking forward to this fix as well, thanks!

[joaojotta]

I actually lost my interest for this update because Cinnamon is broken for now.
Something to do with Read 7 or what so...
I had to go back to 3.0 and everything is fine there.

[joaojotta]

Good news: more time for the update!! (:

[jmauss]

@joaojotta Problem is that 3.2 fixed a qt theming regression caused by QT 5.7. Hopefully this update comes sooner than later...

[joaojotta]

Let's hope. Love Cinnamon, love Arc (also Numix but it got huge since GTK3.20).

[horst3180]

Cinnamon 3.2 support added. Sorry for the delay, I was busy with life :D

[joaojotta]

Life?
The thing with awesome graphics but awful gameplay?
I play it from time to time too. Still so low on credits...

Thanks for the update!!!

@horst3180 can you please tag a new release once the cinnamon support works mostly? Users report that they really need this update for ArchLinux.

BTW: You should also consider to use PGP and sign the commit and the tarballs. This ensures that the packages for the linux distributions can be verified against integrity and authenticity. This is extremely important for every OS, so you would do everyone a favor in signing the tarballs with gpg. Thanks for your time :)

[horst3180]

@NicoHood Okay, done. Is the signing okay? I just added the tarball signature in addition to the signed commit,tag.

[GLTR87]

The theme looks great to me with Cinnamon 3.2 and a vertical panel.
Thanks for the work!

[joaojotta]

Working great here too with the latest Cinnamon (3.2) and GTK (3.22).

[NicoHood]

@horst3180 Thanks a lot for the signing! However you need to upload your public key to one of the keyservers, otherwise users are unable to fetch it for building:

gpg --recv-keys C57DFF0D28DAAE97
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data

Edit: The key is available now, maybe it was a delay or you updated it. Thanks!

I also found one for the opensuse build server, but this seems to be a different one:

In general is is extremely important to sign the whole git history in order to verify the whole tree. So it would be best if you sign every new commit and the tags as well. There is an option to automatically sign every commit. If you sign the github tarball it is also important to verify what github put in the download, so you only sign their downloads if you trust the content (its unlikely that via https the download got modified, but always be sure to compare it with your local data).

-> Please also sign the icon theme

This one for 16.04 / Xenial: https://repo.morph027.de/ubuntu/pool/main/a/arc-theme/arc-theme_20161119-1_amd64.deb

[morph027]

Found another inconsistent color (or is this intended?) in the notification area:

[jfarthing84]

@morph027 I just noticed this too. I highly doubt it is intended.

[horst3180]

@morph027 Yeah, that is not intended, although it looks kinda fancy :D. I will look into it.

[jfarthing84]

Also, some applets have left/right padding, and some don't. Namely, the User and Removable Drives applet seem to have it, from what I can tell. For the record, I prefer without.

[euphonia]

I'll also add that 3.2 uses .launcher instead of .panel-launcher. Without it, the panel seems to default to the to Mint's cinnamon theme hover effect (on Arch). Adding this was good enough for me:

.launcher {
  margin: 1px;
  padding: 1px;
  transition-duration: 200;
  border: 0px solid transparent;

  &:hover {
    background-gradient-direction: none;
    border: 0px solid $selected_bg_color;

    .panel-bottom & { border-bottom-width: 1px; }
    .panel-top & { border-top-width: 1px; }
    .panel-left & { border-left-width: 1px; }
    .panel-right & { border-right-width: 1px; }
  }
}

[euphonia]

Also, the left/right padding thing mentioned by @jfarthing84 seems to be due to the min-width for popovers/menus being set to 200px. Smaller menus, like the user applet and the launcher right-click menus, leave gaps to the left and right, and larger menus, like sound and networking, don't.

Reducing the min-width to 100px seems to do the trick. Not setting it at all may be another option, but I don't know what side-effects that might have.

I use Arc-Darker and after upgrading to Cinnamon 3.2.1 on Fedora 25 all applets are using the default Cinnamon theme background color.

[horst3180]

@alexkieling Did you only update Cinnamon, but not the theme?

[horst3180]

@morph027 @jfarthing84 @euphonia Thanks for the help. The remaining 3.2 issues should be fixed now.

[abkieling]

@horst3180 I installed the theme via Fedora 24 repository (https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=arc-theme-solid). I've got the latest from that repo. There is no Fedora 25 repository available yet.

[horst3180]

@alexkieling Oops, I forgot to update my OBS repo to the latest release (it was late). I triggered an update now, should be available shortly.

[abkieling]

@horst3180 Updated the theme via Fedora repository and it looks good.

[jfarthing84]

@horst3180 Will you be tagging another release soon so that we can get the official Arch package updated?

[morph027]

Confirmed, my issue is gone!

[nick-s-b]

I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon-only issue (I haven't tried it with other DEs) so I apologize for adding it to this thread... About the only thing that bothers me about Arc is that tooltips for the default Arc theme (not Arc-dark) are white text on the dark background and not vice-versa. For example, this is Chromium tooltip:

Given that all the controls for Arc are dark text on white background, why aren't tooltips following this convention? I find it hard to read white text on dark backgrounds so I notice this all the time and it gives me eye strain. Is this is a bug with my Cinnamon install? How do I fix it? Thank you!

[liltinkerer]

It's broken with the new Linux Mint 18.1 'Serena' update, but I think it's because the PPA isn't updated. Correct?

[liltinkerer]

@horst3180 When will the updates hit PPA?

[morph027]

Meanwhile ;)
