Material supports the intergration or add-on known as Quick Thread. Instead of having a "Create Thread" button off to the side of the screen we have included a create thread bubble. Click this bubble allows you to do a Quick Thread just like when you use it on a different theme.
There are two different style of buttons that we have included in the Material Theme. One includes the icon like style which can be set up through the Material Options. Navigate to Appearance → Styles → Style Properties → Material. To set it to icon, be sure these options are check off Top Control floating Footer Button& Change Top Control To Icons. The other style is done by unchecking Change Top Control To Icons.
