Manual Uninstallation
Delete the installed directories.
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat{,-compact,-dark,-dark-compact,-light,-light-compact}
Recommendations
Font
To properly display the theme, use a font family including
Mediumweight (such as Roboto or M+).Set the font size to
9.75(= 13px at 96dpi) or10.5(= 14px at 96dpi).
Chrome Theme
To use the Chrome theme,
Open the
chromefolder on/usr/share/themes/Flat-Plat<-variant>.Drag and drop the
.crxfiles onto the Chrome/ChromiumExtensions page:chrome://extensions
GDM Theme
You can change the GDM (lock/login screen) 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
Select a GTK+ theme to decide which variant to install.
Run the following commands to back up and replace the default theme file.
sh
GTK_THEME=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme | sed "s/'//g")
sudo cp -v --backup /usr/share{/themes/$GTK_THEME,}/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource
> Note: If you don't want to overwrite the backup on the second and subsequent runs, delete the --backup option.
Uninstallation
Restore to the original theme from the backup.
sh
sudo mv -v /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource{~,}
