Hello,

An issue that has been around since the beginning of the Arc theme is the very low contrast. I cause eye-strain for a lot of people !

I will be awesome if you can improve it.

Thanks !

@NicoHood a few pictures will explain this.

So for Arc - the current fonts colours look like this

ubuntu budgie - new development artful running - oracle vm virtualbox_005

This is the suggested slightly darker version that is proposed in the above link

ubuntu budgie - new development artful running - oracle vm virtualbox_006

And finally the completely black font colour giving the most contrast

ubuntu budgie - new development artful running - oracle vm virtualbox_007

I couldnt figure out how to get GTK+2 app menus (File - Edit etc) though to be similarly coloured - the submenus can be coloured though by changing the text-color ang fg-color values here https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme/blob/master/common/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

I like the slightly darker version. It really gives better contrast.

I think a little more darker than the darker one but less dark than the darkest one will be great.

@Paviluf think this PR will resolve - but I do recommend testing this "darkenfonts" branch

Well I can't test for now but the more I look at the screenshot you did, the more I like the darkest one.
Thanks !
