Hi - all the Moodle Themes I have seen so far have right angles for their corners.  Is there a Moodle theme available that has nice rounded corners?

thanks

if you use Frefox you'll find quite a lot of them do. IE doesn't support the CSS to do it.

I was trying out some different themes, and playing around with the CSS, and I lost my rounded corners (in all themes).  How can I get them back again?  Thanks, Nick

Sorry to ask again, I've tried to work this out for myself (not so experienced with php though) and searched the forums to no avail.  I was trying out different things in the css files of the standard themes and when I went back to my site it had lost its rounded corners (in Firefox). I don't think I deleted anything anywhere (including links to styles_moz.css as I don't even know where these are), but obviously I've done something I shouldn't have.  What could be the most likely causes of this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot, Nick

Hi Nick,

1- Are you sure you refreshed your browser (Ctrl + F5) after you had "played" with the themes?

If you have not deleted styles_moz.css (from the \theme\standard\ folder), can you also check that the config.php file in your chosen theme folder does refer to that file, e.g.:

$THEME->standardsheets = array('styles_layout','styles_fonts','styles_color','styles_moz'); 

2- As regards the "niceness" of rounded corners, I beg to differ. There are fads in web design as there are in all fields of design; fridges, washing-machines, computers, etc. feature rounded angles one year and right angles the next... cool To me, at the time of writing, rounded corners look rather dated. On this matter I recommend reading Rich Ziade's article "Why Do We Love Rounded Corners?".

All the best,

Joseph

Joseph, my heartfelt thanks.  For some reason $THEME->standardsheets = array did not have a reference to 'styles_moz' (although it must have done before and I almost certainly didn't remove it from config.php myself).  It does now, so problem solved.  Thanks again, Nick

PS I agree, to my taste there are a tad too many rounded corners in the standard themes, one or two judicious ones are plenty and I plan to tweak my own theme accordingly.  Anton and me really like the software though.

Nick, you're welcome.
I expect that Anton (if that's your baby on the photo) is all rounded corners and no straight angles. wink
