Themes

This theme is different in many ways...and not easy to clone.

There are settings pages where you will need to change ANY reference to formal_white in both the settings.php and lib.php

If this theme has a db folder delete it

if this theme has a version.php delete it

It will work without them

If you do all this then you should be able to load it back to your server.

Also if you wanted to you could set Formal White as a parent theme,

$THEME->parents = array('formal_white','base','canvas');

and also delete the layout folder and delete the $THEME->layouts in the config.php...

$THEME->layouts = array(
    'base' => array(
        'file' => 'general.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-post',
    ),
    'general' => array(
        'file' => 'general.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-post',
    ),
    'course' => array(
        'file' => 'general.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-post',
        'options' => array('langmenu'=>true),
    ),
    'coursecategory' => array(
        'file' => 'general.php',

        'regions' => array(),

        'regions' => array(),
        'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true),
    ),
    // Used during upgrade and install, and for the 'This site is undergoing maintenance' message.
    // This must not have any blocks, and it is good idea if it does not have links to
    // other places - for example there should not be a home link in the footer...
    'maintenance' => array(
        'file' => 'general.php',
        'regions' => array(),
        'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true),
    ),
    // Should display the content and basic headers only.
    'print' => array(

        'regions' => array(),
        'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>false, 'noblocks'=>true),
    ),
    'report' => array(

        'regions' => array('side-pre'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
    ),

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// These are all of the possible layouts in Moodle. The
// simplest way to do this is to keep the theme and file
// variables the same for every layout. Including them
// all in this way allows some flexibility down the road
// if you want to add a different layout template to a
// specific page.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

If you look at the Standard theme to get the idea.

All you need to do then is make changes to the CSS.
