## What it is
Materia is a Material Design theme for GNOME/GTK-based desktop environments, supporting GTK 2/3/4, GNOME Shell, and other desktops like Xfce, Cinnamon, and MATE. It offers standard, dark, and light color variants plus compact size variants, and includes a Chrome browser theme.

## Use cases
- make my linux desktop look like material design
- apply a material theme to gnome shell
- theme gtk 4 applications
- dark and light gtk theme variants
- compact theme for small screens
- theme xfce or cinnamon with material design
- install a chrome browser theme matching my desktop

## When to choose
- you use GNOME, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie, or Unity and want a polished Material Design look
- you need GTK 2, 3, and 4 support in one theme
- you want dark/light and standard/compact variants
- you prefer installing via distro packages or Flathub

## When to avoid
- you use elementary OS apps, whose stylesheet conflicts with GTK standards
- you run a downstream customized GNOME session like Ubuntu's or Pop!_OS's default session
- you need a theme for Qt/KDE desktops
