  1. Extract it to the theme directory.

  2. Select the theme via gnome-tweak-tool or other suitable tools.

  3. [Optional] Set the font size to 10.5 (= 14px at 96dpi) or 9.75 (= 13px at 96dpi).

  4. [Optional] Open the chrome folder and drag and drop the .crx files onto the Chrome/Chromium extensions page (chrome://extensions/).

Note if you want to clone from the repository

The master branch is currently being built for GNOME 3.22. If you want to use other versions, you need to specify the branch as follows:

git clone -b 3.18 https://github.com/nana-4/Flat-Plat.git

GDM (Lock/Login Screen)

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

:warning: Warning:

  • When applying this, other third-party GNOME Shell themes would look broken.

  • If GNOME Shell has been updated, you will need to install this again.

  • Not supported for GNOME 3.14.

Installation

  1. Backup the existing .gresource file.(Skip this step if you just update it.)

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

  1. Replace it with the new one.

sh cd /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat || cd ~/.themes/Flat-Plat sudo cp -div gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell

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