@pichalite: Thank you very much. You are awesome! I just did and I am now ready to roll!. This is the best looking theme EVER!

Theme, is working great, Suggestion for next update.
Add category tiles to SUB Categories.
So if you're within a category you can have the tiles like on the home page for the sub-categories

I have noticed that the weight of the font specified is not the one that is being displayed. So far, the font on Material is thick (which is above 400) because it was not imported. although you used it.

I adjusted it on my local machine, and I could spot the difference:

Before including 400 in the import list:

After including 400 in the list:

@Ziggy good catch. will fix it in next update.

Login section.

There is check box for "I agree to Terms of Use"
Anyway, in next update we can add a link next to it this way we can link to our TOS?

@pichalite At the moment while shrinking the screen as described in my earlier post works great on your demo site, on actual deployed sites it still attempts to fit two tiles into a tiny smartphone screen. Is there a setting or something I'm missing, or is that fix not deployed yet?

[pichalite]

@Arc it's in the category settings in ACP.

Change col-xs-6 to col-xs-12

@pichalite Ah, there we go. Thanks!

Amazing this theme just keeps getting better and better. Is the new chat UI in this one?

@pichalite First off, this is incredible. I'm thinking of switching my forum over to this because it's really nice.

I noticed that the clickable area of a category is actually only the text:

I would think the image or div at the back should go to the category page, or is that a breach of material design rules?

@drew

I mentioned this as well. @pichalite is updating he theme lighting fast he is awsome.

[pichalite]

@drew @tfraley @Arc v2.2.0 released to make whole div clickable for category cards. you may have to clear your browser cache.

@pichalite noticed a slight discrepancy between the login and the register windows.

The login window has the social icons in the white block under the login button.

The register window has the social icons outside the white box

I'd personally like to have the social icons above the login / register button to make it more obvious that these can be used to sign in. (Not sure what the UI guidelines are for these things..)

logo is not displayed?
no matter what I set, or upload in the ACP.

the logo is at the point where it should.

the header is but "logo" instructive

[Arc]

@ogerly

Just set the Site Title under General to <img src="<LOGO LOCATION>"> and the browser title to the name of your site. Then check Show Site Title in Header and click save.

Its worth noting after that you'll have to apply a negative top margin to center it properly under the CSS like:
.logo{
margin-top: -5px;
}
