Is this library working for anyone on Android M?

From what I've heard this library is not working on Android M, is that true? GreenMatter is such a lifesaver, can I use this on Android M, or is it officially dead? :( Sorry for my bad English.

Sad news...

I didn't want to give up before I could test it on a real device. I now checked it on a Nexus 5X and I didn't find a solution to the issue. So the lib is indeed deprecated at it's current state :(

The part that is not working is the color overriding at runtime. The library could be adapted to be used as an enhanced backport of the material themes.

I will write a notice on the README file to warn devs about the situation.

Do you know exactly which part of the code is failing to run as expected? What is the change between Lollipop and Marshmallow that prevents this working?

There are some resource caching mechanisms that don't allow intercepting colours at run-time. So defining a colour resource in xml and replacing it with another color doesn't work anymore.
