Arc-theme: Is this theme (still) under active development?

[MPE2016]

Dear Horst,

I don't no of another way to reach you, so I just post an issue here.

Please correct me if I am wrong; are you still actively developing this theme? There are a lot of Issues waiting for an answer, some - for example the one on the expired Key for the OBS repo - have been there for months.

Is there anything we can do to help you make the changes?

I am otherwise a very happy user of your work; you're a real champ (I am sure others agree with me on this).

All the best,

MPE

Hopefully he responds soon, I can't think of what could've happened, I really hope he's still around.
But, because of this lack of Development, Solus is switching to Adapta, and soon, Arc could die out entirely to the hands of GNOME, with only Mint-Y to continue on development... Let's hope he comes back, SOON.

There is 0 activity from the dev either here or in DeviantArt since May, so…

The expired key issue is not really important w.r.t. the availability of the theme or whatsoever, however letting your GPG key expire and not doing anything about it for 2 months is a very bad sign…

I've been using GNOME as desktop environment since April 2017. Although, I've been using GNU/Linux for more than two years. But, I didn't know, it's possible to apply themes on Ubuntu. So, when I migrated from Ubuntu to Ubuntu GNOME, I found the ways of tweaking my desktop. Since then, I had been using Numix-Blue GTK theme, a derrivarive of Numix GTK theme by Ubuntu Studio Team. I loved it. Because, it was very simple, and it was available from Ubuntu's official repositories. But, this theme is only available for Ubuntu 17.04 and higher. Last week, I downgraded from Ubuntu 17.04 to 16.04.3 due to stability related issues. As I didn't try anything other Numix-Blue, I had to search the Internet for a new GTK theme. As a surprise, I found "Arc". As it's even better than Numix-Blue. I've loved this theme. I won't even use Numix-Blue, even if I get that again. Hope, it's development will be active again.

@fossfreedom and me (Debian and Arch Linux Maintainer of Arc-Theme) decided to continue this project as a temporary fork. You can find the new repository here.

Feel free to open PRs at the new repository. If horst will ever come back, we can merge them back upstream without any problems. It would be very helpful if you guys can help us test and review the PRs, as we also have limited knowledge and time.

Let's do our best for the beautiful Arc-Theme :)
