I loved that in contrast with the other Material Design Toolkits, this one uses only CSS for its animations.

Are you saying that's a good thing mainly for performance reasons?

I ask mainly because I vaguely remember someone running the numbers and finding out that js animations surprisingly beat CSS animations in a number of not-unrealistic scenarios.

(I know there's other reasons for favouring CSS animations)

I love the design, but I'm finding a lot of the animations aren't smooth. I'm on Chrome 43.

If there are any animations at all you find are janky, could you file and we'll look at it soon? We've been performance testing on a wide range of devices/browsers but I'm certain there are plenty of areas we can improve on.

I love this! I've been meaning to make something like this myself for a project; now I won't have to. I have to point out some flaws, though; for example the side menu here[1] has very low text contrast once you hove over them. [1]: http://www.getmdl.io/templates/dashboard/index.html

Lead for MDL here. Glad you like the idea, spoiler :) Thanks for catching the low contrast issue with the dashboard navigation - is it the same as https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/issues/739? . If not, would you mind filing an issue on the repo and we'll try to get that fixed up soon? https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/blob/master/C... Alternatively, we can file a bug for you if you share de…

I was just leaving work when I wrote that; I was on my way to do it now, but then I saw someone already opened an issue.

Keep up the great work! :D

I have to say, I really dislike the appearance of material design.

It's like saying in a Windows 10 thread you dislike the MetroUI/ModernUI design.

I prefer the material design in Android 5+. And I like the iOS 7+ design and Win7 Aero design. But I cannot live with the ModernUI of Win8/XboxOne - who choose those ugly colors?
