Improvements for XFCE 4.13 suggested

[philmmanjaro]

Currently Arc-Maia looks this on XFCE 4.13:

Since the Matcha theme is based on Arc, it might be good to adopt some of it's changes in that regard:

• having the panel matching the background of it also on the buttons
• use a light color marker for selected buttons
• maybe adopt the black colors for Whiskermenu as we do on our end.

Some of those for XFCE 4.13 are: https://github.com/vinceliuice/matcha/commit/f73401ba27570213dd8a6350f1d60d4113134a27, https://github.com/vinceliuice/matcha/commit/eb68a5c29a7c464a9e1a0d5065bb53536e3bdd66

Would need to see the current screenshots for what things look like with arc theme itself.

Once we all agree that the revised styling is consistent overall with the original goals of the theme we would be more than happy to receive backported pull requests.

I would not pursue these changes. philmmanjaro seems to be running Arc-Maia, which seems to have some visual inconsistencies that this soft fork does not have. Changing things for the sake of change could break styling in other areas. The only issue I think needs attention in XFCE that would not break anything would be making the xfwm4 theme's bottom border smaller, in this issue I brought up here.

"Would need to see the current screenshots for what things look like with arc theme itself."

These issues persist with the arc theme itself too. See here:

Arc theme broke for me with the release of Fedora 29, which updates XFCE from 4.12 to 4.13.
