Material: a nice KMail theme inspired by Material Design

Past Google I/O It was announced Android L, the new version of the operating system for Google phones that among its most significant novelties, is a radical change in its interface thanks to Material Design.

According to Wikipedia:

Material Design is a design language developed by Google and announced at the Google I / O conference held on July 25, 2014. Extending the card interface first seen on Google Now, Material is about cleaner design, in dominated by responsive transitions and animations, fill, and depth effects such as highlights and shadows.

Material for KMail

Precisely inspired by the colors and the philosophy of Material Design, this theme for KMail (version 4.11 or higher) comes to us called, because it couldn't be otherwise, Material, and it honestly looks spectacular.

Material

We can download the theme from the following link:

To activate it, we just follow these simple steps:

1. We extract the content of the file.
2. We copy the folder called material to: ~ / .kde4 / share / apps / messageviewer / themes

And that's it. Remember that we already saw how to put other themes to KMail in this link.

    I love Material Desing.
    Hopefully some GNU / Linux theme designer would take it as a base.

    It's nice, yes, but every time I close and reopen Kontact, it goes back to the "original" theme. Is there a way to make the header stick?

      It's true, the same thing happens to me and it's weird because it didn't happen with other issues. You have to investigate.

    I would like to see a css + html with template using this interface, to be able to make a nice layout 😀

      In fact Google launched a tool to create web applications using Material Design, if I'm not mistaken it is called Polymer.

    It is the first time in months, maybe years that I will run Kmail again and it is just to test this theme :)

    I'm looking between Kmail and Thunderbird, I really like Kmail but I have problems with the yahoo account to send messages.
    In Thunderbird if I send messages without problems but the sent emails are not reflected in the sent folder of my yahoo account.
    This is a problem because if I need to open the account elsewhere I will not have a backup.
    Is this problem known?
    In the gmail and openmailbox accounts I do not have this problem, everything I send from thunderbird is reflected in the messages sent by the emails themselves
