Hi,
I am pleased to make available my orangechoc theme downloadable from http://rezeau.org/moodle/orangechocJR.zip
Orangechoc is a 2-column, fixed width theme inspired by David Scotson's Kubrick theme manifesto >>.
Enjoy!
Joseph
Perhaps it could be included in the Moodle standard release? I'll have
to think up a reason for setting up another Moodle site in order to use
it! Great approach Joseph. Your theme makes me looking for a bar of chocolate and a white coffee. I hope your students will fastly return to their studies after their coffee breaks.

PS. Did you consider to make the rollover bars in the sideblocks a bit wider? They are clamping the link a bit.
Hi Urs,
>Did you consider to make the rollover bars in the sideblocks a bit wider? They are clamping the link a bit.
Of course I had left those too-narrow rollovers for your hawk's eye to detect... and you did
I will try to give the links more vertical space in a further revision of orangechoc.
Thanks
Joseph
Hello,
A new version of my orange chocolate theme is available for Moodle 1.6 and can be downloaded from here >>.
Enjoy,
Joseph
Joseph,
I just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for this great theme. I'm starting a new teaching job this fall and am in the process or setting up my teaching site and a new electronic portfolio site for use there.
I wanted my portfolio site to have the same basic colors as my teaching site, but I wanted it to look distinctly different as well to ensure students could immediately tell the difference between the two sites.
I really like the Kubric theme in WordPress and your OrangeChoc theme brings that concept into Moodle extremely well. I think this is going to work great for my portfolio site. www.gportfolio.net

Steve,
Thanks for using OrangeChoc (and for telling me!). Anyone interested please note that this theme is now available through Moodle/Database/Themes here >>. And also that is compatible with Moodle 1.6.
Joseph
PS Do not hesitate to post any questions or to report any bugs
concerning OrangeChoc in this thread.
You're welcome Joseph.
A couple of small issues I found below...
1. When a you include large type in a section heading of a course, the lines of text overlap when the lines wrap. I fixed that by changing "line-height" to "normal" in the "#course-view .section" in the theme.
2. When I insert a line from the rich text editor, it doesn't show...haven't fixed that one yet.
3. On the front of the site my header image is 370px wide, so when a student with a long name is logged in it pushed the header wider than the rest of the page...the login information doesn't wrap. I didn't fix the problem, but I did minimize it by changing the text at login from "You are logged in as:" to simply read "Welcome:"....that just gives more room for a longer name. I believe the text does wrap in course headers though.

Thanks for your "small issues" report.
1- line-height in #course-view .section -> corrected (should be normal indeed)
2- >When I insert a line from the rich text editor, it doesn't show... Do you mean the Horizontal Rule? I have disabled the <hr> tag because it is (almost) deprecated. You can re-enable it by simply deleting hr {display:none;} from the orangechoc.css file.
3- Can't help it, sorry.
All the best,
Joseph
