1. Backup and replace .gresource files.
### Install

sudo cp -b /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell
2. Restart gnome shell (press `Alt`+`F2`, then type `r`).
3. Done!
sudo cp /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource~
2. Replace with the new one.
* If you put this theme in `/usr/share/themes`:
sudo cp /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell

**In order to restore original theme, type the following command:**
