So I am using Arc as my GTK theme, and applied it like this

[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-main=Arc
gtk-theme-name=Arc
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true

in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

To enable it for GTK2, I did this:

gtk-theme-name="Arc"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Arc"
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme="true"

in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. However, gimp and some other applications (I assume they are GTK2) are light.. Others have correctly been given the Arc Dark theme and the icon-theme as well..

How do I enable the dark-mode for GTK2?

  • Solved it by adding Arc-Dark and "Arc-Dark" on gtk-theme-name for both Gtk2 and Gtk3.. – vegarab Dec 16 '17 at 16:50

Using the name Arc-Dark for both GTK2 and GTK3 solves the issue.

GTK3:

[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-main=Arc-Dark
gtk-theme-name=Arc-Dark

GTK2:

gtk-theme-name="Arc-Dark"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Arc-Dark"
