OSX Acr theme is a nice looking and flat modern theme that supports GTK 3, GTK 2, and Gnome Shell. It supports many desktop environments out of the box like Unity, Gnome, Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, Mate, and so on. You can install these themes on all versions of Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros, Arch Linux and Arch Linux based distros, Elementary OS, Debian 8, Fedora 21-24, OpenSUSE. And all other distros based on these mentioned Linux platforms should not have any problem to install this icon theme.

Arc Theme is a comparatively new set of a theme, which comes with three variations. Theme ‘Arc’ comes with a combination of much light and less dark, ‘Arc Dark’ provides a fully dark theme, and ‘Arc Darker’ comes with a combination of light and dark themes. These themes support any Linux distros, which run the GTK theme engine.
