About dark material // akZent ★
welcome to dark material // akzent, a new version of dark material with dark material colors as accents!
To use the colors, install Arcus: 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. Or you SHOULD expect at most THREE soft reboots before your phone works again! This is due to dirty flash theme recompiles that get corrupt (CM side).
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the first and original dark material UI available for the CyanogenMod 12/13 Theme Engine. With this theme, you can grasp that Lollipop Material look whilst not blinding your eyes as you enjoy all the eyecandy animations!
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).

Love this theme. One fix I noticed is that email subject lines are too dark to read on notifications from the gmail app.

I purchased just to play for a few minutes before refunding. I was searching for long for a simple, elegant black theme. But... wow, I stuck with it! Very nice job overall, nice fonts, icons, animations...everything. Well done. I am keeping this for good! PS: I'd like less punchy colours in Google play and themed MS outlook app

Great work here guys! On the boot animation though it looks like some of the black diamonds or squares are clipping and it kinda looks a little messy. If you could smooth the animation a little, it could be the best! Thanks for reading, and I hope to see a change soon!

Its been like a year using Dark Material series, and Nicholas has never let down anyone regarding his passion for theming. The best comes out with every new iteration, full of secret projects that r way too impossible to think. But Nicholas made them possible. Stay tuned for more.

This is the best possible thing you could have done, allowing for tweaking of the Dark material theme. However, it would be even better if the wallpaper changed and notification shade header changed to match.

Would be even more epic if the wallpaper changed with what color you picked but till monumental!!

Editted: No update for a long time. There is something problem with text and background color. Maybe dev stopped supporting this theme and focused to other project.
