Hi,
I am trying to use MaterialDesignLite (master branch in Pharo 7). The demo works perfectly.
Now, I thought I would start writing a small web app by subclassing MDLApplication, since that seems to set up things properly.
Is that class finished ? How am I supposed to use it ? There are screens, but how are these rendered ? Do I have to do this myself ? Must there not be an idea of a current screen ?
MDLScreen is in fact an empty class.
Although there are units tests for MDLApplication, there is no subclass, so no actual user. It feels a bit as if the demo should/could use it.
Hi,
This class was introduced at the beginning of MDL and was used by its creator.
This person does not contribute anymore and I never really used it so I do not know how useful it is. I will add an issue to take a look and either improve it or deprecate it to not make people lose time.
Thanks Cyril, I suspect it was not finished and it was a bit confusing.

As Julien told you, I usually start a standard MDL application with the generator I wrote to get the basic infrastructure.
I hope it helps you getting started smoothly.
Sven
