Description

Ink for Google improves the look of well-known Google websites like Search, Gmail and Calendar. It unifies them under the guidelines defined by the Material Design team at Google. Ink takes inspiration from the visual style of Android apps and their newest websites to create a better and consistent experience across all of these services. Ink currently works on most Google websites, even websites which already have material design. On those websites, it improves the design to better match the guidelines. This extension requires the permission to read and change your data on google.com sites to make the visual changes. See something that you think needs a visual tweak? Click the Ink icon to send us some feedback or to report a bug.

Extension is for Google websites. Has message "This site is not supported" on every Google website.

Just became the worst extension I have installed! Material Theme is some atrocious, disgusting design. It lacks greys, shadows, colour and not to mention those hideous outlined icons. Oh yeah - there's also Google Sans which I detest. Material Design was beautiful while it was still around. It's a shame to see Ink for Google not try to keep Material Design. It's a shame I have to uninstall it. The developer also seems to not respond to my questions. Google Contacts looked and worked perfectly until it got Material Theme. Same with Google Keep, Google News, Google Photos, Google Drive and Gmail. Google Search has Material Theme but thankfully it's performance is still great. YouTube thankfully still has Material Design but it's performance is absolute trash (an understatement tbh). I use YouTube without Polymer (aka Material Design) but it's performance was just terrible and even the layout got worse. Ink for Google made YouTube look great and work great. This was my favourite extension.

NOT compatible with the new Gmail layout. Hopefully gets disabled before too many switches over.

I used to like it, but on most sites, it just makes text look bury because it gets blown up. I give this one start because of that, but also in the newest update which just came out, it can now read data from certain cites I go to. Its an extension that changes a theme, what data does it want from me?! Uninstalled.

Since it doesn't seem to be so useful now, I would love it if this extension added the ability to customise which colours we wanted for "material" design.. theming Google services would be amazing. I absolutely despise Material Design colours..
