Hello Moodlers,

I have noticed that the home page of this site does no longer say that this new theme is being worked on to fix any bug issues.

Is it available for download?
I believe it's called moodle2. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Simon

Martin D hasn't been keen to release the moodle.org theme for download...
I think there are lots of other references where people have asked this question that you might find via a google search.

IMO this is probably a good decision! - there are plenty of other themes to choose from, and it's good that the moodle.org site looks different from 99% of the other moodle installs around...

Hi Simon,

It's unlikely this exact theme will be made available for download:

a) it has some specialised PHP for moodle.org
b) the menu Javascript is not GPL
c) I'd like moodle.org to look unique smile

However, I'd like to see something like it (perhaps with different colours) being released as part of Moodle 2.0.

Cheers

I totally agree, Moodle.org should have a unique identity on the web and lets face it this theme is superb and definatly leading the way in terms of making Moodle beautiful!

If the menu was replaced (due to lack of GPL) how closely could we mimic moodle2?

Alternative colour scheme, alternative menu and slight change to .navbar? Obviously submitted back to the theme database or to yourself for aproval?
