NewSchool Learning: Standards Based Moodle Designs

I have just uploaded our newest theme, Vitality, and it is now available for purchase.

This is our first (of probably many) themes to take advantage of the new “Custom Corners” variable that became available with the release of Moodle 1.9. What this means is that Vitality uses dynamic rounded corners in places that just weren’t previously possible. This does, however, mean that Moodle 1.9 is necessary to use this theme.

One great feature that I’m really excited about is that Vitality’s header image can be swapped with any image that is 930px wide and the stylized curved corners will automatically be applied in the theme. No source image editing required.

And, like Elegance, the different styling of the left and right columns is designed to separate the static content (such as lists, menus, etc.) from the more dynamic content (messages, news, etc.), thus helping your users find what they’re looking for on the page. But, of course, all blocks will look just fine regardless of which column they’re placed in.

I’ve put a lot of hours into this one, and I do hope you like it. Let me know what you think!

Edit: This theme is not yet on the demo site because my demo site is not yet running 1.9. I hope to have this done by the end of the day tomorrow; Thursday at the latest.
