I'm using Debian testing (stretch) and can't install this due to seemingly too new gnome/gtk+:

I can verify this. Running Archlinux which the default repository is now at GTK v3.22, and this theme won't build.

also can confirm this won't build with 3.22 :-(

I'll try to see if I can manage a PR... gnome-shell/3.20 is itself just a symlink to 3.18, so the assets are no problem.

What I did for my system in the meantime was:

  • take the original arc-theme
  • use arc-theme-colora with some modifications (the scripts don't catch all the colors, some of them are still left blue)
  • copy over some assets from this project (arc-theme-colora re-renders some assets into your chosen color, but not all of them are caught)

  • make symlink ln -s 3.20 3.22 in ~/arc-theme-Red/common/gnome-shell and ~/arc-theme-Red/common/gtk-3.0

  • running ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr the output should be

  • running sudo make install should be success, then check using gnome-tweak-tool, and apply it, good luck
