Mattia Astorino’s ‘Material Theme – Free' and 'Material Theme Icons – Free‘ plugins for anyone curious.
- Of course it's material theme stuff. Smh.
Lmao, Microsoft clearly says themes arent allowed to use scripts and the first thing this jackass does is admit to use obfuscated scripts in his theme. What a dick.
- That sounds incredibly easy to enforce, why didn't they?
  
  Because people will do the work for them, so why enforce their TOS when they can just say YMMV and have absolutely zero liability if someone's extension sells your corporate code to the dark web
  
  Because Microsoft hates you
The guy is an absolute twat, don’t believe a word he says.
