To change the GDM theme, you need to rewrite a system file. Please be careful because if it fails, desktop environment may not operate correctly.

Notes:

  • Not supported for GNOME 3.14, sorry.

  • When applying this, other shell themes might look broken.

sudo cp /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource~

  1. Replace with the new one.

sudo cp /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell * If you put this theme in ~/.themes:

sudo cp ~/.themes/Flat-Plat/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell

  1. Restart GNOME Shell (press Alt+F2, then type r).

Uninstall

  1. Restore to original theme from the backup.

sudo mv -f /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource~ /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource
