respect current color palette

[digitalkaoz]

currently the library doenst respect the choosen color palette (uses the default). it would be great if this library can respect that. this extra library can handle it https://github.com/puranjayjain/md-date-time-picker maybe you can get some inspiration from their solution

yeah I know it's been reported before in #13, but the solution of md-date-time-picker is not a good one imo because he's copying the files from mdl into his library, so he will need to manually update after every release...
Would setting a $mdl-path in the scss file for you to override it may work? you would only need to do:

$mdl-path: './bower_components/mdl';
@import './bower_components/mdl-selectfield/src/selectfield/selectfield.scss';

[digitalkaoz]

mh ive seen you have some hard dependeny on bower, im using npm only here...

what whould a $mdl-path change?

[mebibou]

by setting it before calling the scss file you could set your own path for the mdl library.

[digitalkaoz]

mh yes this might work, so the hard dependency on bower would be removed?

@import "../../bower_components/material-design-lite/src/variables";
@import "../../bower_components/material-design-lite/src/mixins";

[mebibou]

yes this would be transformed to:

$mdl-path: '../../bower_components/material-design-lite' !default;
@import "$mdl-path/src/variables",
  "$mdl-path/src/mixins";

I haven't tested it but this should work

[digitalkaoz]

but im already doing it this way:

import 'material-design-lite/dist/material.light_green-green.min.css'
import 'material-design-lite/material';
import 'mdl-selectfield/src/selectfield/selectfield';
import 'mdl-selectfield/src/selectfield/selectfield.scss';

i modified your scss:

@import "~material-design-lite/src/variables";
@import "~material-design-lite/src/mixins";

but its still blue and not green

[digitalkaoz]

i guess its a problem of mixing dist css and src scss...anyway, the $mdl-path would be a good change anyway!

I am missing a lot of info on what you are doing, but shouldn't you add color classes to the select field instead? I though you changed some scss variables that were not picked up
