Quickly Getting a Custom Material Theme Up and Running
summary
Uses the Sketch plugin Material Theme Editor to start from a baseline theme, change primary and secondary colors (auto-generates a tonal palette), swap fonts (Merriweather, Rubik), adjust corner radius, and compose component symbols; two concrete demos produce distinct Karl and Doug themes from the same baseline. Shows export path into Gallery for specs, but demo exposes limitations: icon integration is manual, library updates sometimes fail, and upload needs internet. The claim is rapid, repeatable theme creation with some tooling gaps.
