Excellent. Would love to get just the create topic button as a theme component.

Hello,
Following the latest update of the Materiel Design Theme component
I’m encountering an error :
Discourse version : 3.5.0.beta1-dev ([402ec6bf5c](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/402ec6bf5c857ddc07be9cb9673734cc7152b7be))
A big THANK YOU for this theme.

If you rebuild Discourse, that should fix the issue.
A fix was merged recently about it: [DEV: Allow stylesheet entrypoints to use `@use` (#31905) · discourse/discourse@b1924c3 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b1924c352487ab2c85ae50af45c5b3e098589014)
Maybe the theme should be pinned to v3.5.0.beta3-dev.

Thanks for your advice 🙂
I’m updating Discourse (as well as the Theme components and plugins).
I’m now using the Discourse version:
### 3.5.0.beta3-dev
([083082f328](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/083082f32822c1970bcc4a2c98cbbc635839732c))
…but I still get the error message :-/
For now, the forum seems to be displaying correctly…

@Stephane_Roy
You’re right. I tested on a _production_ server, and the error is still showing.
I would wait for the team to take a look. I’m not sure how to fix it at the moment.

When will Google MD3 UI be supported, dear amazing developers?

What’s the difference from the “Simple” theme, other than that the font is a bit smaller?
