A comprehensive Material Design theme and control library for WPF applications in C# and VB.NET. It provides styled versions of all major WPF controls, extra controls like dialogs and cards, a full icon pack, and runtime-configurable color palettes.

Use cases

• apply material design styling to a WPF desktop app
• add material design dialogs and cards to XAML UI
• switch color palettes at runtime in a WPF application
• use material design icons in a .NET desktop application
• make WPF controls follow Google's material design guidelines
• add transition effects to a WPF user interface

When to choose

• building a Windows desktop app with WPF that should follow Material Design
• you want pre-styled WPF controls instead of hand-rolling XAML styles
• you need runtime theme and palette switching in a .NET desktop app

When to avoid

• building UWP, WinUI 3, or Avalonia apps (this targets WPF)
• developing web or mobile applications
• you need a non-Material look and feel
