The site rendering blue is:
Moodle 3.6 Fordson v3.6 release 1.3
The site rendering white (the correct one)
Moodle 3.5 Fordson v3.5 release 3 update 16
I'm in the middle of an upgrade, and only have until this afternoon. I suspect its a version this as well.
I rolled back to the previous version and it's fixed my problem. I am happy to investigate further with you once the upgrade(s) are complete around Friday.
On the new Moodle 3.6 one, be sure to change the Content Padding on the Preset Adjustment page. That controls the spacing on the left and right.
Hi Chris,
The padding changes the whole content area. In the previous version you could add a coloured background, but still have a plain/white content area. Please see pic.
I have also noticed a few other things. Can I send these to you for review?
I think I might have a solution. I'm working on it and will be posting an update to the theme.
So the elearner preset works best and is only really tested with the Layout Chooser: Centered Content / Full Screen Header Image. That is because this preset is designed to show the background image and so having the full screen layout is what it is designed to use.
I think, but cannot be certain by your screenshots that you are using the Boost Default Layout Chooser. The Boost default layout is for the Boost Preset and the new Perception Preset out of the box. Not every Style Preset is going to look great with every layout. The main culprit is the Boost default layout. It's designed to try and make Fordson look like Boost.
With that said, I've discovered a few things I can change in the eLearner Preset that will make it more compatible with the changes in Boost found in Moodle 3.6.
I'll be publishing a change soon that should help you out with your desired configuration of Fordson.

Hi Chris,
That's great thanks for working on this for me. You were right I am using the Boost Default.
I have attached a document with a couple of other things I have found when using the theme. Not sure is you are aware of these or is it is purely theme but I thought it may be of interest.

1. Logo/header doesn’t resize responsively when screen is reduced using Default header image. It is responsive if a course image is attached.
No course image (full)
No course image (browser reduced)
Course Image:
with course image (browser reduced)
The image is not used how people normally think. We use images as visual cues for learners. The green course. The frog course. The photo of my classroom course. The images are simply a way for a student to find a course when they might not know how to read. We have preK and K-12 graders using Moodle. It is used to cover the width and will expand and contract based on screen size to cover the intended area. I hope that makes sense. Photos with words are not ideal. The header photos are purely cosmetic and used to set a color tone for the course.
I am reviewing your Word file. I'll try to answer best I can.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking a look at my file and providing suggestions. I have sent you a copy of my presets.
