dark material // blacked out for Android
The icons shown on the screenshots are from the Whicons icon pack, available free on the Play Store!
ATTENTION: Welcome to the convergence build. Blacked Out! has been merged into Dark Material. To switch to Blacked Out, you must install Arcus, available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixkart.arcus
ATTENTION: If you're on MM6.0 with CMTE (CM13, DU) AND you dirty flash, MAKE SURE YOU REVERT STOCK THEME BEFORE YOU UPDATE.
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the first and original dark material UI available for the CyanogenMod 12/12.1/13 Theme Engine. With this theme, you can grasp that Android Material look whilst not blinding your eyes as you enjoy all the eyecandy animations! To regain back the stock Google icons look, try my other theme "dark regression+"!
WHY "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).

its an epic theme, i loved it but in twitter if you try to see a full sized pic or vid, you cant see the rt counter or fav counter bc the background and letters are black. same as the videos, time counter and background is also black so we cant see
Visual bug in Instagram where all cross posting option are all black. It's impossible to see any button is activated or not. Please fix it. Make Facebook button turn blue when activated or something that easier to know it activated or not
It works great with devconnection optimized CM ROM, although it sometimes crashes a couple apps from time to time and reboots the system occasionally. Still love it. Hope the devs will take a look at this. Thanks for the great effort ya'll put in this
Love the way it looks. But chrome crashes almost every time It is launched, Navigation icons keep changing to default and some in app fonts go complete black. Fix these and You're worth 5 stars
Hey guys, been using this for ages. Always worked like a charm. However the past few days gmail updated and i can no longer see what i type into the email body. Subject and to fields are fine, only the body has black text on black background.
Love the theme but what is the wave icon on the status bar? Unable to figure it out. I am literally breaking my head
The only reason i stay with CM ROM. GOOGLE LEARN SOMETHING!!! White is eyesore and battery hogging!
Greeeeting to the team who made it. Just ultimate and gorgeous theme I ever installed on my zuk mobile. One thing is that my icon colors didn't change to dark. Tell how it is done.
Some icons are pretty mediocre. Check boxes look like scribbles and completely break style. AMOLED support is great!
I'd love to have the theme also on telegram. And also I changed the wallpaper while I was on this theme and now I can't get back the default black one not even after reinstalling...
However some screens look ambiguous as there's a feeling of undefined borders because everything is now black
It's been great so far, but the latest Google Messenger update has now a Nissan with the SMS message field. It is basically white input field using white font. So text is invisible. Any way to get that fixed? Thanks.
One of the few AMOLED-friendly cm themes. Only problem I have is white on white in text box for landscape keyboard.
And hell yeah I really missed your theme.. Nice work done here.. Thanks for all the hard work you have put in... :)
Is it possible to remove the overlays for some particular apps? It interferes with kmod on Whatsapp for example .
plz improve the style of notification pull down.. it's crap...& the settings menu look awesome... theme text is weird too...
I cannot see what I type when I am composing an email in Gmail, so i had to change my theme.
Thanks for the nice themes, Please consider "on call" screen, It's icons and numbers not clearly visible as colors not matching, it will be great if you can implement the same black and white colors used in dialer screen there too,
Great font, utter blackness everywhere. Beautiful. The wallpaper needs to be plain black, too, but that's easy to fix. 5 stars. My new favorite theme.
Love theme! Last Google messenger update turned the text box white and I can no longer see the typed text.
Best black theme out there I just wish I could get my Google search bar to turn black again
When i rotate my phone display, navigation button's is not working. (In Landscape mode) and again when i am rotating my display to portrait mode navigation Bar buttons is get back to its actual position and then only its working, why this is happening ? Pls fix this bug.
Just one thing, when tagging people vía whatsapp (havent tried in other apps) the background is still white while the font is also white, so you cant differentiate by name the people you want to tag.
But the WiFi icon is awful
Hello, I noticed that when composing an email in gmail, the message you are typing out doesn't appear visible with this theme enabled.
The newest version of google messenger is broken for me but ohh well.
Black text on black background when writing emails, had to disable it for the Gmail app. Gets barely ever updated to fix bugs
Chrome always crashes on google search...Kindly fix this...otherwise excellent theme
Can't give reviews of apps on play store. The white texts with white background makes it impossible to read & write. Developer should amend it.
Hope there is more variants to this. PS: toast message isn't centered, how to change it?
Using resurrection remix. Fonts are not applied system wide. Settings app with default ui
Not a type to leave these or even use themes but am having no regrets !
You can't identify for example if shuffle in Spotify is turned on or off.
Minimalistic, clean, and dark... Just the way I like it! Also makes lots of gapps incorporate the dark theme. Really nice!
There is a problem on notification as it is white coloured font used on white background quite tough to read
I am so in love with the design and the effects and the boot animation. This is a perfect theme and I so forking love the black color.
Theme is good. But notifications are not visible in the lock screen. Font color cab be changed so that the letters would be visible. Thanks.
Hey, text in messenger SMS app is unreadable when writing..
Only writing mail in Gmail is impossible. Black letters on black background
by S####:
It looks great and it is integrated with the whole system almost perfectly! The only flaw is that you can't see the folders in Gmail, names are written in white font color over a white background.
