Is there a way to sorta remove the styling from material? to get a clean native like theming? imo these material theme is way to „modern“ for some like serious business applications. 😅

There’s no read-to-go native/business styling, but material is based on top of “no-style” foundation composables.

You can build your own widgets on top of foundation and style them yourself however you need to.

[Alexander Maryanovsky]

e.g. Material OutlineTextField is built on top of BasicTextField.

How do you define native theming? To get full fidelity to every single supported OS major and minor version? That’s not something you’re going to get from any component in foundation or material.

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

And even the foundation composables still have styles - typography, color, shape, paddings, sizes, etc. There’s no such thing as no style.

Its hard to describe but by native theming I mean something like just not too fancy or too modern. Material does a great job in theming, but in certain cases I just think such a modern design would „eliminate“ the authenticity some programs (like an accounting, logistic, … software) should have imo.

[Marc]

I couldn't imagine something like a logistics program with that colorful, fancy material theme.

You can adjust the colors and typography in material

Make your material theme monochrome if you want it to be boring 🙂
