So please **be careful** if doing this. +- 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 and restored to the original theme, you will need to install this again. + > Tip: On Arch Linux, you can automatically reinstall the GDM theme by creating a [hook](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Hooks) file. For example, if you use Materia-compact as your GDM theme, put [this file](https://gist.github.com/looselyrigorous/a1aa931ce48627cc39daccc9253b30c7) in the `/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/` directory. + +## Requirements + +- `glib-compile-resources` — The package name depends on the distro. + - `glib2` (Arch Linux) + - `glib2-devel` (Fedora, openSUSE, etc.) + - `libglib2.0-dev-bin` (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) +- `libxml2-utils` — Ubuntu users only. + +## Installation + +1. **Back up** the original theme file first.
