  • GNOME Shell 3.18 or later

  • Unity 7.4 or later

  • MATE 1.14 or later

Installation

Arch Linux users can install from the AUR package maintained by @cthbleachbit.

Fedora and EPEL users can also install from a Copr repository.

Manual Installation

  1. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sh cd /tmp curl -sL https://github.com/nana-4/Flat-Plat/archive/v20170605.tar.gz | tar xz cd Flat-Plat-20170605 && sudo ./install.sh

  1. Select the theme using gnome-tweak-tool or other suitable tools.

  1. Optionally; 75 (= 13px at 96dpi) or 10.5 (= 14px at 96dpi). on /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat* and drag and drop the .crx` files onto the Chrome/ChromiumExtensions page.

Manual Uninstallation

  • Delete the installed directories.

sh sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat{,-compact,-dark,-dark-compact,-light,-light-compact}

GDM (Lock/Login Screen)

You can change the GDM theme by replacing the default GNOME Shell theme. However, if it fails, the desktop environment may not operate correctly. So please be careful if doing this.

:warning: Cautions:

  • When applying this, other third-party GNOME Shell themes would look broken until you restore to the original theme.

  • If GNOME Shell has been updated, it will be restored to the original theme, so you will need to install this again.

Installation

  1. Select a GTK+ theme, then run the following commands to back up and replace the existing theme file.

sh GTK_THEME=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme | sed "s/'//g") sudo cp -iv --backup /usr/share{/themes/$GTK_THEME,}/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource

>Developer note: > If you don't want to overwrite the backup on the second and subsequent runs, delete the --backup option.

  1. Restart GNOME Shell. (If you are running _GNOME on Xorg_, press Alt + F2 then type r.)

Uninstallation

  1. Restore to the original theme from the backup.

sh sudo mv -iv /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource{~,}

  1. Restart GNOME Shell. (If you are running _GNOME on Xorg_, press Alt + F2 then type r.)
