Note if you want to clone from the repository

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

GDM (Lock/Login Screen)

You can change the GDM theme by rewriting a system file. But please be careful because if it fails, the desktop environment may not operate correctly.

If GNOME Shell has been updated, you will need to install this again.
Not supported for GNOME 3.14.

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

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

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

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