Try ./install.sh --help for more information.
Delete the installed directories:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Materia{,-compact,-dark,-dark-compact,-light,-light-compact}- To properly display the theme, use a font family including Medium weight (e.g. Roboto or M+).
- Set the font size to
9.75or10.5(i.e. 13px or 14px at 96dpi).
To use the Chrome theme;
- Open the
chromefolder on/usr/share/themes/Materia<-variant>. - Drag and drop the
.crxfiles into the Chrome/Chromium Extensions page (chrome://extensions).
You can change the GDM (lock/login screen) theme by replacing the default GNOME Shell theme.
