Themes

Below is my response to an important post from Martin Dougiamas concerning themes, from the Accessibility forum. Please post comments there.

Hi Martin. Sorry to have got you concerned - I perhaps haven't been communicating my changes and there likely impact clearly enough. I will also post to the themes forum.

I think you can see from Urs' comments that the themes issue is not as big as you initially feared. I have now used Moodle's theme previewer to quantify the impact - a quick and dirty table is attached which demonstrates that of the 15 themes previewed 12 appear to need no change - 80% success. The 3 that need some modification include the 'pda' theme, which would have need checking for accessibility/usability in any case.

Why the <i>You are here</i> using italics...?
- I like compact markup, but in this case I agree it could confuse other developers - will fix ASAP.

New arrow images... should use $CFG->pixpath
- will fix ASAP, and look at filenames. (The 'em1' in the name refers to them being resizable - try Ctrl + Mouse wheel.)

I'm fully aware of the need to minimise risk at this late stage and I will work with the theme maintainers. I hope this reassures you - comments welcome.

Thanks Nick
