JGD-Black GTK2 requires the Clearlooks theme engine. To install from the command line:
apt-get install gtk-engines
sudo pacman -S gtk-engines
To request that JGD-Black use the dark variant of the theme, open the file found in your-home-folder/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and add or adjust the following:
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
The dark variant will only apply to the GTK3 theme.
Note: The GTK3 version of this theme only works in version 3.20 and above.
