Arc-theme-HiDPI

I was looking for a good HiDPI theme and found the Arc-theme-HiDPI, but even though it's saying "HiDPI" it doesn't look HiDPI at all. Everything looks very small. There isn't an Arc-hidpi or Arc-xhidpi theme either like the Default-hdpi/xdpi one.

Am I missing something here? Do I need change something in the Makefile? When I browse trough the theme images they look very small too.

Edit:
Seems like there's already a debate going on here: https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/691

Tried the --export-dpi=DPIVALUE options, but no luck.

Re: Arc-theme-HiDPI

arc has no hidpi support, the fork you mentiond did this for the assets of the gtk3 theme so they wont blur if you use GDK_SCALE=2. for xfce you need a theme that supports hidpi for gtk2, gtk3 and xfwm.

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe I can figure out how to export from Inkscape with the --export-dpi=DPIVALUE setting using the render-assest.sh script, so I can create my own HiDPI version of it. But for now it's just opening Inkscape and does nothing further.

You can use my little theme just for the window manager. This works great with Ark Darker theme.

If you have a Debian-based system, you could try the two our packagers created and are in our MX-17 repos: arc-theme-hdpi and arc-theme.xhdpi

MX-23 (based on Debian Stable) with our flagship Xfce 4.18.

Re: Arc-theme-HiDPI

Hi ! I made a 192 DPI version of Arc theme for xfwm4 available [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/arc-xf … z/download).

If you need another DPI value, you can find the instructions to build it yourself with any DPI value on [my GitHub repository](https://github.com/loichu/arc-theme-xfwm4-hidpi).

Good luck
