Outer design of each view is an option, and should be, of course, fully editable. But main in ABMaterial framework is the system, way for B4J users without HTML knowledge. But it's without WISYWIG.

Another project by @Mashiane is quite interesting.

[UOENow] Create beautiful Bootstrap 4 Websites with Now UI Kit+BANano

No, ABMaterial is build around the Materialize CSS framework (https://materializecss.com/). It was a choice we made within our company after careful deliberation because it was faster to wrap than Bootstrap and covered all functionality we needed. And with BANano, we can wrap any framework we want (see indeed the above example for Bootstrap 4 someone made). We created internally one from practically scratch (the BANanoSkeleton UI library) because we prioritize speed (as close as possible to a Native App) above all the rest.
BANanoLibraries (can) have a WYSIWYG-like behavior (as it updates the browser live when making changes in the Abstract Designer when pressing save), but requires CSS/JavaScript knowledge to build such a framework wrap library (not very much to use such a library). The library maker can make custom views for every component in the original JavaScript library that can be dragged & dropped in the B4J Abstract Designer. And if it is written right, allows the Live behavior in the browser.
Both frameworks are used together within our company for all our WebApps and have drastically shorted the time to go from design to production. We decided to share both frameworks with the B4J community, but have no need/time to start working on a third one.
If only we have more web developers in this community. 
I have interest in many other web technologies. I also struggle on decision which front end framework to use.
Vue is getting more popular.
This project look nice: https://github.com/epicmaxco/vuestic-ui
and Ant Design is also very nice: https://ant.design

Hi.
B4X is very good with different frameworks (Materialize CSS, Bootstrap, ...), but It would be excellent if the IDE had Drag and Drop, for example: Gambas
Very fast results...
Thank you
...ofcourse there are problems like that... So many times "forms" like this is only one direction or when horizontal goes outside (scrollbar)...
DIVs help but in cases like business forms (there are always probs) - but a web app creation especially for business always have limits...
yes all these can combine with drag n drop but the result is different..
Who knows, B4XDesigner project can help in this area.
... who knows .... need a lot of work...
