Themes

Using CSS it's easy.

.block .header h2 { color: blue; }

or

.block .header h2 { color: #003366; }

or

.block .header h2 { color: rgb(123,123,123); }

All work in Moodle.

As for the Block it all depends on where you want to change the font color.

I have given you the header CSS (see above) but if you want to style the contents with something like...

.block .content { color: #FF0000; } /* red */

Using FireBug with Firefox is also useful for finding which bits of CSS you need to change to get the results you want.

Hope this helps?

If you are looking for code to be used in any php file, this message is the answer you seek.

So, depending on the level you wish to apply the code, I have had some success at the Instructor's level.  My intention is to change only that which applies to my own course and to allow other instructors to use changes if they want.  No one is required to use the colors and the code is only at the instructor's level.  I have full control of color choice with each assignment without having to change the settings in the theme.

At the assignment title level, I use:

<font color="#800000"> <font size="3"><strong>  Name of Assignment  </strong> </font></font>

and similarly,

<font color="#800000" size="3"> <strong>  Name of Assignment Grading  </strong> </font>

If you are not familiar with the #rrggbb code, the 1st two digits  are for amount of red, the 2nd set is green and the 3rd is for blue. in 00-ff hexidecimal code. 000000 = black, #9a3b00 = brown.  There are web sites that explain/show all the color codes.

If you experiment with only one coded entry for an assignment name, you will see that this has interesting effects elsewhere in Moodle. Color and font sized show up in respective column names, in e-mail messages and makes mobile devices easier to read the Moodle entries.  In the e-mail subject line: not so beneficial but readable.

Requiring SysAdmin access, you can use the "Additional HTML" in the "Appearance" section of the theme in use.  For BODY setting add:

<style type="text/css">
         .aa1, .cc1, .ee1, .hh1, .ii1, .qq1 
          {
                    font-size: 1.2em; font-weight:bold;
                    font-family: trebuchet, verdana, georgia;
                    visibility: visible;
          }

          .aa1,  { color: #6e0a8a; }   Violet
          .cc1,  { color: #0a1d8a; }  Blue
          .ee1,  { color: #8a0a3f; }   Red
          .hh1,  { color: #444444; }  Grey
          .ii1,   { color: #0a8a6e; }  Teal    
          .qq1,  { color: #1d8a0a; }  Green
</style>

Now the assignment title is reduced to:  <span class="hh1">Assignment title</span>

In this case, the title shows up in the color of Teal and now any instructor can use the option. Of course you can use any code you want for the class name (.aa1 etc)

CAUTION: I initially used .r1 and ended up overriding a default color/font in the quiz!  (-:

Maybe this can help....
Please feel free to ask about the code if you want.
