A Material theme form Administrate, based on Materialize framework.

Features:

• easy to install, just include CSS/JS to apply the theme;
• Material Design responsive theme;
• customizable via SASS variables;
• allow to use Materialize components in the admin.

• After installing Administrate, add to Gemfile: gem 'administrate-materialize-theme' (and execute bundle)
• Edit app/assets/config/manifest.js, adding at the end:

//= link administrate-materialize-theme/theme.css
//= link administrate-materialize-theme/theme.js

• Edit app/views/layouts/admin/application.html.erb (you can generate it using rails generate administrate:views:layout), adding before head closing tag:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'administrate-materialize-theme/theme', media: 'all' %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'administrate-materialize-theme/theme' %>

To change Materialize variables it's necessary to create a new .scss (or .sass) file like this one (ex. admin.scss):

// app/assets/stylesheets/admin.scss
$primary-color: #FB1;
@import 'administrate-materialize-theme/theme';

And replace the link tag in the application.html.erb with: <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'admin', media: 'all' %>

• Sidebar example:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col s3">
    <section class="mt-sidebar z-depth-1">
      <h3>Sidebar</h3>
      <p>Some content</p>
    </section>
  </div>
  <div class="col s9">
    <section class="main-content__body main-content__body--flush">
      <!-- ... -->
    </section>
  </div>
</div>

If you use this component just star it. A developer is more motivated to improve a project when there is some interest.
