I've been wondering why folks want to mix MDL with other components. AIUI, MDL is not just a theme, but an entire UX design and implementation. From the little I've read, there should not be any such thing as a missing component or layout in MDL. Every interaction and presentation you want to make with your user has been specified and provided. If the Basic set has a component that MDL doesn't, MDL doesn't want you to use that component. Or am I wrong about that? Now if you want to use the Basic set and just wished it looked better, that's a different problem. Trevor proposed some ideas for a better default look. I haven't had any time to try to implement that, although I'd guess that there is a good chance it can't be done in Basic. Basic is mostly trying to have one element per component, which means that the visuals that cannot be expressed in CSS probably can't be controlled without a different component set with different views. The Flat swc is an example of where I boiled down the Flat Bootstrap theme into simpler pieces. Something like that may be what we do to support Trevor's proposal. My 2 cents, -Alex
