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.

Notes:

• When applying this, other GNOME Shell themes might look broken.
• If GNOME Shell has been updated, you will need to install again.
• Not supported for GNOME 3.14.
