Find the "Material" way to display the breadcrumbs.

[samtimalsina]

The breadcrumbs in Drupal admin is useful in deep nested pages (eg. field settings on a node type) and I use it often. Breadcrumb, at least for me, is a power-tool-of-sorts.

However, there's a few problems with the breadcrumb:

• Doesn't fit the Material Design Language. I have yet to see an example that uses it.
• Hard to tap on links on smaller devices.

The breadcrumb needs a rethink. This could be potential enhancement.

I think this is the material way! You just need a few changes, look at Google's search results: replace » with › and make the links colored with grey using the mdc-theme--text-disabled-on-primary class from MDC-Web like with just the selected link in White. I'm not sure though, I just think it's the material way to do it 😃

Thanks for the info @touficbatache!

I have been using the chevron_right icon :), but haven't tried using the primary color. Here's what it looks like now for reference.

Scouring the interwebs, I don't see many examples of breadcrumbs in Material Design that is actually implemented. The closest is http://demo.geekslabs.com/materialize-v1.0/ui-breadcrumbs.html#!, but then Drupal is notorious for very deep links and I'm trying to find a sweet spot of Conforms to guidelines and works well on all devices

If you want, you can send me a link to where you want to use it so I can style it and send it back to you 😃

I guess styling is not the main problem here, and I'll definitely take you up on styling it when I have a reference! And to be honest I am not a big fan of how they do it at http://materializecss.com/breadcrumbs.html. Few reasons:

• They have taken creative liberties that I don't agree with. I don't think breadcrumbs should be as prominent.
• This does not take into account smaller devices

There are other things too, but I would love some guidelines from Material team on this. Now, if we are allowed to take creative liberties as well, I would love to get some feedback and/or help on this. Thanks again @touficbatache!

No problem @samtimalsina. I don't think that the Google Design Team has time to help you with this but if they do, congrats!
