Overview:

A Drupal administration theme inspired by the newest Material Design project created by Google.

This theme uses no 3rd party libraries or extensions. It has been built to conform to googles markup without any alterations to the DOM.

We are now in an alpha release; however, we still don't recommend this on production sites at this time. There should be no breaking changes with this version.

Features:

  • Personalization through custom color palettes utilizing the color module. (Match your backend theme with your frontend for a cohesive administration experience). Visit the theme's settings page (admin/appearance/settings/mdc)
  • Card based menu layouts
  • MDC form elements
  • More features to come

What about all the other material admin themes?

Before we started this project we did quite a bit of research and tried to collaborate with many other authors of various other themes in the attempt to contribute and better existing themes with the addition of MDC.

The problem we faced was either a lack of support, or a difference in technologies. We wanted to ensure the least amount of customization to the existing base theme's structure (we use "Seven" as our base).

We also took note of Google's initiate to move forward with MDC and drop future support of MDL (Material Design Lite).

MDL is currently in limited support mode, with no further development taking place by the core team. We are happy to accept and review pull requests for new functionality, however, as long as there are no breaking changes.
