What’s New in Material Theme UI v11.0.0
New year, new look! The Material Theme UI plugin continues to evolve, bringing a modernized experience to your IDE. This version introduces the Material 3 style, offering a fresh, contemporary aesthetic to replace the classic Material 2 look. We’ve also added support for the sleek Google Sans font (available separately) to further refine your workspace.
Material 3 Style
Want a preview? Explore the new UI DSL Showcase page in your settings.
For fans of the classics: we’ve completely overhauled the original Material Design (Material 1). No longer just a legacy style, it is now a fully-featured customization option for those who prefer the traditional Material look.
Beyond the visual refresh, we’ve introduced several powerful features to enhance your workflow:
Customizable Floating Action Button (FAB)
Access your most-used actions instantly with the new Floating Action Button. Position it anywhere in your IDE window and customize its triggered actions via the Menus and Toolbars settings.
Theme Ignores
Sometimes external themes don’t align perfectly with your preferences. With the new Theme Ignores page, you can choose to bypass specific theme properties in favor of native IDE defaults, helping you resolve color clashes and UI inconsistencies.
Preview Theme Colors
Gain full transparency into your active theme. This new tool provides a comprehensive table of all theme properties and their exact color values, eliminating the guesswork from customization.
Refined Spacing Settings
Precision matters. We’ve expanded the Spacing Settings to grant you granular control over the size and padding of UI components, allowing you to tailor your IDE to your exact specifications.
Settings Overhaul
We’ve refined every settings page to improve the user experience. This includes UX optimizations, fixing UI bugs (such as broken images or inconsistent disabled states), and overall polish to make navigation more intuitive.
