My first contribution back to the Moodle Community (besides a few bug reports...)
First: this IS another mod of the great Aardvark theme by Shaun Daubney (thanks to him)
However, I have made considerable changes, and have many more planned, so consider this more like a "fork".
The purpose of this theme was to build it in such a way that customizing it is easily in reach of people who know the bare minimum about html or css. As such the CSS has been completely rewritten into a color scheme format and is grouped into 5 categories:
Links & menu
Hovering
Labels & fonts
Backgrounds
Body Background
By picking a colorscheme, the user needs only to change a handful of css elements and, voila the whole theme is recolored in a matching sort of a way- no need to *find and replace all* when you didn't need it, or figuring out individual elements, etc...
This also works with MoodleBar- as seen in the picture above.
All new images, transparency! to work with the color scheme- the menu is now acutally just css with a transparent png for the "3D effect"
Images all come in a variety of convenient flavors: light & dark, and sm,md,lg,xl
for example the menu background can be:
smdark.png
or
lglight.png
for a small, darker 3D effect or a large, light 3D effect.
The menu has been completely rewritten!
No more flyout.png! instead we have some divs that "grow" as you add links to your unordered list, and always look nice.
There's really a lot more to it but colorschemes, new images, new menu, and MoodleBar are the 4 big ones for this first release.
Finally,
The 5 color schemes above (Eggplant, Cola, Girly, Grayscale, & Night) are all included in the release. Just change the styles array from zebra to zebra_eggplant, or whatever you want.
You can see it live (with a few fixes for 0.2) at https://school.tiseagles.com, with the exception of the MoodleBar- that requires login.
