Themes

Nice website: I saw that you use the option to echo the status of the user with an icon under the userimage. Is this tstndard or did you patch this. (In that case: please, how?)

By the way, the bottom line of your page was telling this:

Warning: Unknown(): open(/home/Moodle/moodledata/sessions/sess_da8e67f150299e0f04dda42b5ac93cfc, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/home/Moodle/moodledata/sessions) in Unknown on line 0

Hi Julian Nice theme!!!

i have a little observation about the fixedwidth version. its width is fixed at 800px and this is a little trouble in clients with 800x600 screen resolution. i think is better fixed at 740px. i did it and works great.

I've been practising the theme out on a few students and they have had some problems locating, identifying the log-in. These are for the most part older students with little computer savvy. However, they may be right in saying that it's hard to see. Some of the other themes put it in a more obvious top right or center position, but that would interfere with the graphics. Is there a way to make it a bit bigger, more easily findable? Have tried myself to change font size but can't seem to do it. The other point that comes up is the size of the icons. Are they smaller than the old ones? Or should I suggest stronger glasses? Thanks for the theme, these are the only "negative" things encountered so far.

I might have found another bug.

When I add a link to our school website www.forestlakecollege.com.au in the main menu I get an audio icon rather than a website icon. Links to other addresses work well.

Does anyone know what's going on? I'm using the Clouds theme, however I'm using the new nuvola iconset.

1. Your use of .r0 & .r1 background-colors to make alternate rows of tables more visible is a very good idea. There is, however, one case where the resulting display is not so happy, namely in the Glossary tabs. May I suggest the following change in styles_color.css:
   #mod-glossary-view .r1 {
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
   }
   see screen capture, part A
2. On the whole, the font-size is OK, but a bit small in some places. One real problem with the way font-sizes are organized in the new Moodle 1.5 themes is that there is (in my opinion) way too much difference between the larger font-sizes, the medium ones and the smaller ones. One workaround, which you have chosen, is to reduce the overall body font-size to 95%. This works well, but I feel that the font-size in some sections should be increased a bit.
3. Most of the icons are OK, but those icons which appear in edit mode are really tiny and in a light-blue color which makes them really difficult to see for ageing, long-sighted users like myself. (see screen capture, part B)

Hi Julian,

bravo with the theme & thx for sharing your .css genius! ive had a look @ montenet & must say you've given us something to aspire to! i very much like your 'portal' concept for accessing resources, services throughout the school..vry nice indeed 

2 queries wrt your work on main pg of montenet..

1. how did you create the 'folder structure' view for categories, courses?
2. how did you customise the blocks to display new titles & include images etc?

much appreciated, chad

Hi, I installed the theme. However my site look very different from the MonteNet site. Would you mind help me with some questions

1. What I need to do to install the theme? Is it enough to copy all the files in the "WholeScreen" folder to the theme "folder" on the server?

2. Please refer to the figure in the attachment, it is what I got after "installing" the scheme. I can observe:

Number 1: The background picture of the block header does not show up.

Number 2: The background colors of the rows in the block do not change from row to row. In addition, the font and font size of the rows do not change.

Number 3: I like the course list on MonteNet a lot. However, I could not achive it here. First of all, how to group courses into groups? It seems that Moodle do not give such options when creating the course. Next, I guess that MonteNet use a special block for the course list?

Thank you very much!

Julian

Can you please tell me where can I find the MY Courses Block and the Local Time Block....I have been looking for them ... but with little luck.

Thank you

Julian,

i am very new to this moodle and i am learning little by little. i sow your nice theme and want to test it my moodle site.i ahave download the clouds and i ahve no idea about the changes to be done to get that theme

pls, if you have a little time let me know how to configure it or link to a documentation about it

thank you

Hi There

I think the clouds theme is excellent and very smart.  Just a couple things:

• Some icon images (eg edit, delete) are not displayed next to the settings, is there a reason for this?  All I get is a white box and I cannot tell what I am clicking on.
• I have managed to change the logo on the Header page, but the other pages have not changed.  Do I need to do anthing here?
• Finally the introduction box I have used seems fixed, is there a way of changing this.

My website is www.mizzymo.com

Many thanks

Michelle

Great theme Julian!

I'm using this theme since 1.6 version without problems, but in the 1.9 beta, in the navigation bar appears "Array" instead the course name. Where is the code referencing this part?

Hi Julian,

We're using your clouds theme at our college and we're really impressed with it, thank you!

I'm trying to make our moodle install more accessible. I want to create a range temples based on clouds with different back-ground colours /text colours / text sizes.

My question is:

How can I easily change the background colour of the clouds theme? I've looked for entries in the various css sheets, but can't see anything obvious.

Any help, would be greatly appreciated

There is a really good issue that needs to be dealt with. The HTML Area Text Editor, doesn't work frequently with this theme on IE. However Ihave never found this problem with Firefox. I hope you understand. The textbox inside the editor shrinks suddenly and doesn't let you type anything in. However you could enlarge the editor and type in that way or type it in Text mode.

While using the Frontpage Settings (the HTML Area is partly not shown (Vertically cut). If you use the Text editor mode, almost half of the textbox disappears.

Hope someone can help. I tried it without the theme, or just the basic themes and they work fine. Please help!
