Custom Themes

If you don’t want the default site colors, you can create custom themes for the site in the mdl theme creator. The site will create a custom css, something like this:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/code.getmdl.io/1.0.0/material.teal-green.min.css" />

Now add this in the _includes/head.html file, under the main css and enjoy your new theme.
