However the only option provided is to download the whole css library with the customized colors. I believe most users (like myself) will use a package manager such as bower to maintain their libraries to the most recent versions. By adding an option to just download (or copy) the css snippet that overrides the colors will make things much more maintainable for typical projects"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/google/material-design-lite/issues/comments/123506648","html_url":"https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/issues/1157#issuecomment-123506648","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/google/material-design-lite/issues/1157","id":123506648,"user":{"login":"Frozenfire92","id":5893112,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5893112?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92","html_url":"https://github.com/Frozenfire92","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Frozenfire92/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-21T23:25:33Z","updated_at":"2015-07-21T23:25:33Z","body":"Originally it is scss but it does get compiled down to css.\r\n\r\n>Most users will actually just use the JS and CSS provided, package managers tend to get confused easily.\r\n\r\nCorrect which is where I'm getting at. I use bower to get the js and css for use in my project. However if I want to customize colors either I have to download the whole css library from that customization page, and thus losing the purpose of having a package manager. Where I think it would be a better solution to at least provide the option to copy/paste the css that overwrites the primary/secondary default colors. Does this make sense?\r\n\r\nHere is the workflow I envision\r\n\r\n1) Have your project and use a package manager like bower to get MDL\r\n2) Include MDL from the `bower_components` directory in your website/project\r\n3) Be able to use [the customization page](http://www.getmdl.io/customize/index.html) to choose a color scheme\r\n4) Get a snippet of css to include after MDL's css from bower which overrides the default primary colors (the original full \"customized\" library could still be downloaded here, but give the option for the css to copy as well)"}}
