Does anyone have any feedback on this theme?
https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_mymobile
- Is it ready for 3.0?
- Does it work well, are there any gotchas?
Regards

Check out the front page for the MyMobile theme plugin Gareth.
It says:
What this is:
This is a complex theme designed to provide a ui-enhanced mobile-ready version of your moodle2 install to students and teachers. It supports a basic student/teacher scenario: usage of standard moodle2 activities and assignments, as well as access to calendar, messages, blocks and resources.
What this is NOT:
This is not designed to allow administrators, course managers or others a way to: add/edit activities, add/edit users, add/remove courses, add/remove blocks, edit courses, or edit install settings (etc). If you need to do any of the above, please do them via a normal theme on a standard computer as designed.
This is what I am looking for. Caveat: I may not really know enough to makle a decision here.
I'd like a mobile theme to go in the theme selector choice for mobile, just in case someone uses a mobile for the theme.
ie here:
I'm assuming you are serious that this theme is dead. That is what I wanted to know.
What do you suggest as a theme for mobile Gareth, one that does not dead?
And so we don't have feature creep later, I guess a tablet one would be good as well.

Ok,
The theme is based upon https://jquerymobile.com/ - I used this back in 2010 on my MSc project. Then I saw it used in a theme created by NSL for Moodle in core. I even created my own version with lots more 'swatches' and flexibility in adding bespoke new ones (https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_moobile/tree/MOODLE_23). I helped in the tracker to fix lots of things (with Mary). When RWD came along with Bootstrap (then Bootstrapbase) the theme (still with lots of outstanding issues) was dropped.
The 'mobile' and 'tablet' choices are really 'old school' and not really needed now. Therefore use the same RWD theme as the desktop, be consistent and don't confuse the users with a different interface to the same thing. Or look at the official Moodle app which is being developed all of the time.
Hence ex-Parrot.
