[nodebb-theme-material] Theme for NodeBB using Material Design elements

[julian]

Beautiful! I know @psychobunny has been falling in love with material design recently, so he'll have some thoughts for sure

Edit: Funny how cyclical these things are, eh? Bootstrap 2 had buttons with gradients, Bootstrap 3 eschewed gradients for a flatter design, and now material design is coming back with raised buttons, drop shadows, and skeuomorphic concepts!

Yeah, everything new is well-forgotten old.

@Schamper get the latest version. Ripple effect works for the buttons now.

Updated to add Material Design style check boxes.

Demo

Checkboxes sample can be found in "Unread" page or user settings page.

When I changed the checkboxes to material design style, I lost the option to hold shift and check multiple checkboxes. Any suggestion on if and how I can make this work again?

The topic select module relies on fa-check-square-o and fa-check-square classes. We need to change those so it works for other icons.

Are you planning on making the theme completely material or just using certain elements here and there to make it have the material feel?

[pichalite]

@trevor I wanted to make it completely material but right now I could only find time to add certain elements to get the material feel.

Thanks man. I am not a UI designer but I am trying to learn in the process.
