Tor browser is using light theme (breeze?) although in system settings i set arc-darker as theme for gtk apps. I tried setting GTK2_RC_FILES to my .gtkrc-2.0 but it didn't help. Is there a way to make it use arc theme, like, for example, firefox does?



This is how firefox looks

          The point to note is that Firefox is and has been a gtk3 application since Firefox 46. So your gtkrc-2.0 settings will not be effective.



          I suggest you look at System Settings > Application Style > GNOME Application Style and make a suitable choice there.
