I hope you enjoy using our theme, evolve-D.  With the latest release we've added a few requested improvements.

https://moodle.org/plugins/view/theme_evolved

  • Custom Icon Navigation - On the custom homepage there was 4 hard-coded icons in a navigation bar.  These were My Home, Badges, Calendar, and Courses.  These are now font-awesome icons and you can add up to 8 of them!  Just add the icon name, text, and link url.  
  • Slideshow - Many people wanted to see a slideshow included on the custom homepage. I am not a fan of slideshows but I do see a need to possibly draw attention to certain things from time to time.  I added what I call a "slideshow" but it is really an image display with nice transitions and clickable thumbnails.  Create 4 images at 900px by 300px and upload them to the theme Frontpage Settings page and you will have a nice visual display for your users.  All done via CSS.
  • Improved StylingSocialwall Course Format is another plugin in which we are a part of.  This allows teachers to have a facebook like experience within Moodle.  It is fully integrated with Moodle activities and is a solid course format for a social experience.  The evolve-D theme has special styling built-in for Socialwall and makes the user experience so much better!

I even created a step sheet on how to configure and setup the theme:
