Just installed elementary-os. Suggest customization? - irrationalByte - Jul 26, 2015
So I have been using ubuntu for a past couple of weeks but recently decided to switch to elementary-os since I came to know that it is one of the most simple and beautiful distros.
So I'm looking forward to customize it and give it a nice appeal and look. Suggest me themes/icon-packs/cool stuff.
Thanks 🤝

Yep. I installed numix circle icon pack. Seems great. Anything else besides that ?

I do not know what DE ElementaryOS uses but if it has a DE using gtk you should be able to find some nice themes around the place.
I've always found customizing desktop environments disappointing though.

That's one of they reasons I was dissapointed in EOS. There's just not many themes that work for it out there. The only one I've encountered was arc.

Nice theme. I like it. Thanks :D
I heard EOS was good just because of its light weight and simplicity. Arc is difficult to use I guess. Its fully command-line.🤨

Not really, man. Install elementary tweek and you can select the theme from there.

Yeah. Just install all the dependencies that they mention.
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libgtk-3-dev git
git clone https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme --depth 1 && cd arc-theme
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
It should work after that.
In arch, you can get it from the AUR.
