Flat-Plat
=========
Flat-Plat is a [Material Design](https://material.io)-like theme for GNOME/GTK+ based desktop environments.
It supports GTK3, GTK2, Metacity, GNOME Shell, Unity, MATE, LightDM, GDM, Chrome theme, etc.

Button

- Supports ripple effect animations (only GTK3 apps).

- Supports [Dash to Dock](https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock) extension's theming.
- Supports [Workspaces to Dock](https://github.com/passingthru67/workspaces-to-dock) extension's theming.
- Supports Chrome/Chromium theme and scrollbars extension.
- Appears more beautifully when you use a font family including `Medium` and `Light` weights.

Requirements
------------
- GTK+ 3.18 or later
- `gnome-themes-standard`
- pixmap (or pixbuf) engine
- murrine engine

##### Supported desktop environments are:
- GNOME Shell 3.18 or later
- Unity 7.4 or later
- MATE 1.14 or later

Installation
------------
Arch Linux users can install from the [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flatplat-theme) maintained by @cthbleachbit.

Fedora and EPEL users can also install from a [Copr repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tcg/themes/).

### Manual Installation
1. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

```sh
cd /tmp
curl -sL https://github.com/nana-4/Flat-Plat/archive/v20170515.tar.gz | tar xz
cd Flat-Plat-20170515 && 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.

```sh
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.

#### :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
1. First select the GTK+ theme, then back up and replace the existing `.gresource` file.

```sh
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. (If you are running _GNOME on Xorg_, press Alt + F2 then type `r`.)

### Uninstallation
1. Restore to the original theme from the backup.

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

2. Restart GNOME Shell. (If you are running _GNOME on Xorg_, press Alt + F2 then type `r`.)
