Hi Akhilesh,

There are two aspects to Moodle theme development:

  • Software skills such as PHP, HTML, CSS etc.
  • Understanding the Moodle theme API etc.

For the former just follow any guide pertaining to them, for the latter start with https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Themes.

If you just want to customise the Boost theme then have you looked at the Boost pages settings in Site administration of your site? There is a place to upload theme presets to help people - and you can get some from the Moodle.net repository and then upload them into your site.

Also, as long as your current theme works well for the users and on  mobile then I wouldn't worry so much about major customisations - I would focus on ensuring your courses are high qualitysmile

Hi Akhilesh,

Whoever said it was easy!  It has taken me years of hard work and dedication to gain the knowledge of Moodle Themes that I currently have and I'm still learning.

I do have a paid for course - http://www.moodlebites.com/mod/page/view.php?id=3208 - though.  This is run by HRDNZ, a Moodle Partner.
