Help with lightdb-unity-greeter dependencies(lib3, light-themes)

Question

Hello all, I've spent 3 days of my spring break fresh installing Arch Linux on a laptop I bought as my 2nd distro (I had ubuntu for a week). I've been able to sort through all the problems I've ran into so far with the wiki and forum posts but I'm having trouble installing the dependencies so I can makepkg the pkgbuild in the unity-greeter folder I have.
The 2 dependencies I have missing are:
==> Making package: lightdm-unity-greeter 13.10.2-100 (Tue Mar 25 23:47:56 UTC 2014)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: libindicator3
error: target not found: light-themes
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
Google searching brings me to the AUR for lightdm-unity-greeter https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ligh … setlang=nl
which suggests I use the PKGBUILD's under chenxiaolong github to solve the error (https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch)
https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-f … r/PKGBUILD
For the libindicator pkgbuild when I makepkg it gives me:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.6
gmodule-2.0
gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.37
libido3-0.1 >= 13.10.0) were not met:
Requested 'libido3-0.1 >= 13.10.0' but version of libido is 12.10.2
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBINDICATOR_CFLAGS
and LIBINDICATOR_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
and for the updated ido pkgbuild (on the AUR page it's chen fix for the lib3 dependency)
(https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-f … o/PKGBUILD)
I get
checking for LIBINDICATOR... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.6
gmodule-2.0
gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.37
libido3-0.1 >= 13.10.0) were not met:
Requested 'libido3-0.1 >= 13.10.0' but version of libido is 12.10.2
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

My DE is xfce if it matters at all.
I can't find anything else searching for this, can someone point me in the right direction?
