5 things Xfce could do better
On his 3rd point of theming; Xfce should adopt Greybird Dark, which has Flatpak support. It looks nice enough. Also wouldn't hurt to drop the out-of-box, two panel "Mac" look.

What's your theme, font, color-scheme of choice?
Theme: Greybird (Xubuntu's default) (I've made titlebars thin with a GTK css tweak.)

How to install a theme package downloaded from github with multiple variations.
I'm new to pop_os, I came over from Linux Mint. I'm quite fond of the Mint-Y theme so I went to the Mint repository and downloaded the theme package but when I move the file into my .themes folder I only get the one default Mint-Y light theme (green). I'm hoping to be able to switch to Mint-Y Dark Blue, but can't figure out how to get tweaks to recognize the different variations. I tried pulling the specific Dark Blue folder out and moving it to .themes but tweaks didn't see it either. I'd like to try the new Greybird Dark theme as well but running into the same issue as it comes packaged with Greybird Light in the same download. Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Arc-Dark custom bg_selected?
You can write an issue/ask a question here. It's based on the original theme, which is not active since 2017, so I guess the packages in Linux distros are built from that fork.

[RANT] Stop complaining that Fedora 36 theme does not match your favorite software
Me just being lazy instead of looking for it myself...how does this work? For example, let's say I want to use the Arc Dark theme on F36/Gnome 42. The theme claims it includes a GTK4 variant (btw, Fedora uses this fork of the Arc theme according to the rpm spec, as the original has been unmaintained for some time). How do I tell Gnome 42 libadwaita apps to use the Dark Arc theme? If it's an export line in my .profile file, then I must have done something wrong, because that didn't work for me. What is this trickery you mention, please do tell!

Gnome update broke my themes
If your theme is already configured for libadwaita, it should be possible to use it in place of the default Adwaita by overriding the GTK_THEME variable globally or for each application via *.desktop files. For example, to globally set Arc-Dark (from the Arc theme), add GTK_THEME=Arc-Dark to a config file in $HOME/.config/environment.d for Wayland sessions or $HOME/.xprofile for X11.

I really love GNOME, but custom theme-support seems to be officially over
I'm using the arc-theme, however because almost every native GNOME app is being ported to libadwaita, it doesn't make really sense anymore to offer custom theme support.

On praise of arc-theme and questions for its future in gnome-42
I have been using arc-theme for close to 5 years and even when primary author moved on, it seems to be working well enough via jnsh fork (https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme). Has gnome authors ever considered adopting an existing theme vs building something from scratch?

Upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and now the topbar theme look semi broken
I just upgraded upgraded from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS and my topbar theme is a mix of light and dark, I've been using the "arc-dark" theme. I'm not a linux expert..been using it as workstations at home for a few years... perhaps it is due the theme not being compatible anymore as I found a fork here "https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme"
