ABOUT DARK MATERIAL

To understand why this theme doesn't follow Google's traditional "Material Dark" design with dark teal and/or blue grey, I will briefly explain.

This theme wasn't based on Google's Material Style, but was mainly influenced by the "Tinted Status Bar" mod's results, where it completely made the action bar into one fused item. I really liked this design, which made the system more minimal as it had two layers to look at, rather than 3 (Action Bar Primary, Action Bar Primary Dark (status bar darkened color) and the fragment layer (the interacting area)). The fact that I named this theme "Dark Material" over "Material Dark" was because I wanted to depict a dark, physical metamorphic rock - "slate", and it's color. As the color scheme of this theme is mainly dark (black, grey and white text), I added the word "Dark" in front of my interpretation of "Material" hence the title "Dark Material". Themes that follow Google's Material Dark, should show up as "Material Dark" to ensure consistency (see Google keyboard settings for reference).

This theme is the MOST COMPLETE, MOST THEMED, MOST FREQUENTLY UPDATED (WITH NEW FEATURES AND NOT ONLY BUG FIXES) dark theme out there with over 80 themed apps and a ton of system modifications enhancing the true Google Material spirit. I aim to increase the standards for free themes by providing a solid, workable and easy base theme with little to no bugs. Partnering up with dozens of theme devs out there, I hope that my theme is used as a "phase-theme" - meaning that it isn't meant to be a competitively used theme nor shall I claim that this theme is the best theme out there. I just provide a theme that people can enjoy, and hope that the community would enjoy the ride with me along the way!

NEW THEMES APP

With built-in changelog, wallpaper switcher & theme engine shortcut

Now available on v47 onwards! This does not apply to Dark Material (Donate) as people wanted a cleaner interface without an extra icon.

DARK MATERIAL // COLORS APP (ABANDONED)

An all-in-one theming app that comes with 4 different colors and an extra theme which fits the criteria for Google's Material Dark.

It consists of: Purple (Amethyst), Red (Ferocity), Orange (Flamboyance), Blue (Relaxation) and Google Dark Teal (Stock Google).

The app allows you to install any of those colors, and comes with a built-in uninstall shortcut if you want to try another color!

The app isn't binded by the themes so, once you install the color you want, you can uninstall the app to save precious storage space.

Download links are present in the Downloads section below.

Boot Loops?

I have created a flashable zip for TWRP/CWM that uninstalls ALL of my themes in one swipe. If you're having a boot loop, you must have a custom recovery as a prerequisite to follow this.

I haven't tried this on stock Cyanogen recovery (Cyanogen OS 12/CM nightlies recovery), but it should work if you try using it in Apply Update Zip.
