Installation

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

Manual Installation

1. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

cd /tmp
curl -sL https://github.com/nana-4/Flat-Plat/archive/v20170307.tar.gz | tar xz
cd Flat-Plat-20170307 && sudo ./install.sh

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

3. Optionally;

• Set the font size to 9.75 (= 13px at 96dpi) or 10.5 (= 14px at 96dpi).
• Open the chrome folder on /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat* and drag and drop the .crx files onto the Chrome/Chromium Extensions page.

Manual Uninstallation

• Delete the installed directories.

  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.

⚠️ Cautions:

• 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.

Installation

1. After selecting the GTK+ theme, back up and replace the existing .gresource file.

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.

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

Uninstallation

1. Restore to the original theme from the backup.

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

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