Users will be able to match their gtk2 and gtk3 themes easily due to Ark supporting both. See More

Top Con

Has some contrast issues

The theme is a low contrast theme so it really depends on the screen brightness if you see borders or the text, some elements don't even have borders - this makes the theme barely usable for portable devices. See More

Available firefox and chromium themes

There are matching themes for Firefox and Chromium for those that want to have a fully matched looking environment. See More

Bleak font colors that cause eye strain

The font color in Arc and Arc-Darker is not black, but lightgray after prolonged usage, it becomes apparent that this font color, combined with white backgrounds causes too much eye strain See More
