Cons
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.
Con 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
Con Close button is not activated when cursor is moved to the top edge of the screen
The simplest of all ergonomic design principles is not followed.
Con Only supports latest release of Gnome Shell and GTK
Zukiwi only supports the latest release of Gnome Shell and GTK.
