Couldsomeone help me please?

I’m new to Moodle, but would like to start customising a theme for a forthcoming Moodle project. I’m looking for Photoshop files of the images used in Moodle. Or is there a guide on the images (size, name etc) used in Moodle?

Any help would be really appreciated. smile

Images (icons) of your moodle are inside /pix folder or your theme folder

Thanks for the help, I dont have Moodle installation yet (it's going to be a third part hosted solution). I'm looking for the source files (in Photoshop or some other format) so I can create my own look and feel for our Moodle.

Also, is there any resource out there that identifies the images used in the Moodle pages? I could look at the pages in a Browser and right click all the images to get this info, but it would take some time.

John,

1.) You shouldn't waste your time right-clicking every single picture on a web page. There is a firefox extension that can do that work (and a lot more) for you.

2.) Moodle's "look and feel" is created using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). I recommend spending some time reading the Themes documentation. This will give you a good idea of how this works.

3.) The source files can be downloaded here. You'll want to edit the files in /moodle/themes/.

4.) You may just want to install a theme that already exists.

Good luck.

Thanks Patrick, the Firefox extension is really handy.

I reasonably confident with CSS so that shouldnt be too much trouble. There will be certain changes I'll have to make to our Moodle (company logo, colours etc), that wont be in existing theme - I think? Thanks for all the help.

Right - but no matter what, you'll need to start somewhere. Whether that start is from the "standard" theme or a third party solution, you don't want to reinvent the wheel. Find a theme that is closest to what you're looking for and modify it to suit your needs.

Good luck.

I also recommend installing Firebug for css moodle theme work. It really helps to drill down into exactly where styles are being picked up from. Sometime it can be confusing because you 'think' you have specified the correct css specifier to apply a style, but there is a more specified style in the standard stylesheets. Firebug lets you see exactly where each style comes from on any element.
