The arc Gnome Shell theme is a very nice theme for the Gnome Shell desktop. This is how to install this theme on Fedora 25.

Firstly, download the theme this way.

[jason@darkstar Desktop]$ git clone https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme.git
Cloning into 'arc-theme'...
remote: Counting objects: 10466, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Total 10466 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 10462
Receiving objects: 100% (10466/10466), 9.98 MiB | 525.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (7301/7301), done.
Checking connectivity... done.

Then install the prerequisite packages before compilation.

[root@darkstar Downloads]# dnf install gtk3-devel

Then we may setup and compile the theme source.

[jason@darkstar Downloads]$ cd arc-theme-master/
 
[jason@darkstar Downloads]$ ./autogen.sh
 
[jason@darkstar Downloads]$ make
 
[jason@darkstar arc-theme-master]$ su
Password: 
[root@darkstar arc-theme-master]# make install

Now select the theme in the Gnome Tweak tool and we are done.
