ATTENTION ALL: THOSE RUNNING CYANOGEN OS 12 SHOULD NOT REPORT ANY ISSUES REGARDING CONTACTS. THIS IS A BUG WITH THE ROM, NOT THE THEME.
USE APP THEMER AND TAKE OFF THE STYLE FOR CONTACTS!!!!!!
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the first and original dark material UI available for the CyanogenMod 12 Theme Engine. With this theme, you can grasp that Lollipop Material look whilst not blinding your eyes as you enjoy all the eyecandy animations!
WHY "DARK MATERIAL"?
To understand why this theme doesn't follow Google's traditional "Material Dark" design with dark teal and/or blue grey, I will briefly explain.
This theme wasn't based on Google's Material Style, but was mainly influenced by the "Tinted Status Bar" mod's results, where it completely made the action bar into one fused item. I really liked this design, which made the system more minimal as it had two layers to look at, rather than 3 (Action Bar Primary, Action Bar Primary Dark (status bar darkened color) and the fragment layer (the interacting area)). The fact that I named this theme "Dark Material" over "Material Dark" was because I wanted to depict a dark, physical metamorphic rock - "slate", and it's color. As the color scheme of this theme is mainly dark (black, grey and white text), I added the word "Dark" in front of my interpretation of "Material" hence the title "Dark Material". Themes that follow Google's Material Dark, should show up as "Material Dark" to ensure consistency (see Google keyboard settings for reference).
NOTES FROM US, TO YOU.
The theme has been updated to the latest commits for March 8th (5.0.2) and synced up with latest 5.1 Bliss builds. If your Settings is not themed properly, you NEED to update your ROM. This theme updates a couple times a week with better improvements and features.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- MAINTAINER: This theme is maintained by Nicholas, email/xda link is linked below.
- CYANOGEN OS 12 USERS: There is a bug where contacts has black text on black background. This is NOT A BUG WITH THE THEME. This is a fault in Cyngn, where they did not merge the March 3rd commits in (where they SHOULD HAVE). To remedy this, I will take account for that users on Cyanogen OS 12 has NO ROOT ACCESS, so open App Themer, then go into Contacts, take off the theme and apply System.
- SUGGESTION: Once you apply the theme. Perform a reboot! Any FC's, just reboot again.
- SUGGESTION: If you want to learn how to theme, check out my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-getting-started-theming-cm12-t3006339
- SUGGESTION: If you are on a ROM with an icon that is not themed inside Settings, email me.
