Material Components

This is a reference of all the components customized by the plugin.

Introduction

The original idea of the Material Theme plugin was to be able to customize the UI and Editor colors to look like the original Sublime theme. Since there wasn’t a way to create a new separate Look And Feel, the plugin is instead borrowing the native Look and feels, Darcula and IntelliJ, and overrides their colors as long as it is able to.

However, the original Sublime theme didn’t stop there. Aside from changing the colors of the editor, the theme also got to customize the different parts of the editor with a Material Design look and feel, which brought him a lot of stars. There should be a way to do it for JetBrains IDE as well, right?

Guess there is, and now the plugin features Material Design components reworked from the ground up, making it look very similar to the original plugin, and even bringing new features to light!

Reference

Tabs

Regular Editor tabs have been modified to look like Material design tabs:

They got bigger
An indicator is displayed under the active tab
They can be bold uppercase
The close button has been reworked
A shadow is shown under the tab strip (from version 2.8.0)

Buttons

Buttons have been flattened, and lost their bevel effect.
The font have been increased to 13px, and got bold
An animation is played when hovering them as they change color

Inputs, Numbers and Passwords

They lost their border, instead only display a bottom border that get highlighted on focus
They have a different background color in contrast mode
Password fields have a new button to allow previewing the inputted characters

Checkboxes

Checkboxes are now filled with the accent color while the sign is transparent
They get some sort of ripple effect when checked/unchecked

Radio buttons

Radio buttons got similar to the Material Design Radio buttons
They get some sort of ripple effect when pressed

Dropdowns/Combobox

The dropdowns/comboboxes got redesigned by having the same border as the inputs, which highlights on active/hover.
Besides, they have been added more padding between items, as well as hovering over the selector, just like Material Design dropdowns. This behavior can be switched off via the Compact Dropdowns setting.

Action Buttons

Action Buttons (or Toolbar buttons) got redesigned to display some sort of ripple when hovered/pressed.

Sliders

The thumb got round and larger
The track got thicked and received the accent color
The steppers have been removed

Tables

Table Headers and cells have been padded on top and bottom
Table Headers got bold
Table Cells got a beveled border when selected (this might change in the future)
Striped table rows get the regular and contrast color of the current theme

Trees

Tree Items height got bigger (can be customized in the settings)
Selected item is highlighted with an indicator (can be customized in the settings)
Arrows have been replaced with Material Arrows (“chevrons”) (but can be modified in the settings as well)

Progress Indicators

Progress Bars have lost their “striped” look to look more like a regular filling bar
Progress Loaders have been replaced with the usual Material Design circular loader

Dialogs

Dialogs title bar’s text is now left aligned, bigger and bold

Switches

On/Off buttons that appear inside the Command Panel and Search Everywhere

The Navigation Bar at the top of the view looks more like Material Design breadcrumbs.

Tabbed Panes

Tabbed panes respect the Tab Settings, thus allowing custom height, custom indicator and upper case labels
