Arc-theme: Dotted border for all elements

[nishanthvijayan]

All elements have a dotted border.I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 unity.

This theme doesn't support Ubuntu 14.04, because its GTK version (3.10) is too old. I'm working on GTK 3.14 support, which will make the theme compatible with Ubuntu 15.04.
I'm sorry about this, but I don't have enough resources to backport the theme to older GTK versions.

Is there a posibillity, to install GTK version 3.14 in Ubuntu 14.04?

Hi, if someone is still interested in fixing the dotted lines for Ubuntu versions lower than 15.04:
In folder "/usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gtk-3.0" (that's where the theme is installed) there's a css-file called "gtk-contained.css".

Change Line 26:
from: outline-style: dashed;
to: /* outline-style: dashed; */

Now the dashed border is commented out and not visible.
Theme looks fine for me now. Hope i could help.

What about mint mate 17.3?

[horst3180]

This theme doesn't support Mint 17.3. Upgrade to 18.1 if you want to use it.

If the fix above still works, please let us know. It would be interesting which side effects the patch has.

@fossfreedom Is this still valid, as ubuntu now uses gnome/nautilus and I am not seeing such an issue?
Also the explanation from horst makes me understand that this is something intended and faulty by the application itself?!
