Please update your files (hard to beat Mits I've seen
<p>Each theme is in a subdirectory of the "theme" directory, and
contains at least the following files:</p>
<ul>
- <li><strong>config.php</strong>: defines the theme colours used throughout
- the site</li>
- <li><strong>styles.php</strong>: the style sheet, containing CSS definitions
- for standard HTML elements as well as many Moodle elements.</li>
+ <li><strong>config.php</strong>: to configure how the CSS files work together. You can build your theme onto the standard or onto any parent theme, can include or exclude several CSS files.</li>
+ <li><strong>styles.php</strong>: Builds the bridge to the CSS files. You don't need to edit anything.</li>
<li><strong>header.html</strong>: Included at the top of each page. This
is what you need to edit to add a logo at the top of pages, for example.</li>
<li><strong>footer.html</strong>: Included at the bottom of each page.</li>
+ <li><strong>styles_color.css</strong>: CSS styles for all colour properties.</li>
+ <li><strong>styles_fonts.css</strong>: CSS styles for fonts, font-size, line-height etc.</li>
+ <li><strong>styles_layout.css</strong>: CSS styles for the page layout, positioning etc.</li>
+ <li><strong>styles_moz.css</strong>: CSS styles for Mozilla special rounded corners.</li>
</ul>

+ <p>To create your own themes for the current versions of Moodle:</p>
<ol>
<li>Copy one of the existing theme folders to one with a new name. I recommend
starting with one of the standard themes. </li>
- <li>Edit config.php and insert your own colours. </li>
- <li>Edit styles.php and change your CSS styles. </li>
+ <li>Edit config.php to meet your demands. </li>
+ <li>Edit the CSS files with your styles. </li>
<li>Edit header.html and footer.html to add new logos, or change the layout.
</li>
</ol>
- <p>Note that all these steps are optional - you can make a radically different
- look to your site simply by editing the colours in config.php</p>
<p>Note also that Moodle upgrades <em>may</em> break themes slightly, so check
the release notes carefully if you are using a custom theme.</p>
- <p>In particular, Moodle 2.0 will have a completely new display system, probably
- based on XSL transformations of XML output from Moodle. It is likely that
- the themes for this will be a completely different format, but the advantage
- will be a much higher possible degree of customisation (including moving
- elements around the page).</p>
