Manual Installation

See INSTALL.md for details.

Recommendations

Font

  • Use a font family including Medium weight (e.g. Roboto or M+) to properly display the theme.
  • Set the font size to 9.75 (= 13px at 96dpi) or 10.5 (= 14px at 96dpi).

Chrome Extensions

To improve the appearance of Chrome, you can install our Chrome extensions as follows:

  1. Open the /usr/share/themes/Materia<-variant>/chrome folder in your file manager.
  2. Drag and drop the .crx files into the Chrome's Extensions page (chrome://extensions).

GDM Theme

You can change the GDM (lock/login screen) theme by replacing the default GNOME Shell theme.
See INSTALL_GDM_THEME.md for details.

Customization

Materia can be customized with GUI application, oomox theme designer.

Materia also allows you to change the color scheme relatively easily in other ways. See HACKING.md for details.
