I'd just like to update this post by saying that you only have two days left to submit your theme to our Moodle Theme Contest. So far, I'm seeing some nice themes being submitted, but I want more!

If you need inspiration or parent themes for your last minute project, I've just this week committed two new themes to the core:

Binarius is a native two-column theme that makes liberal use of CSS3 for your webkit and gecko browser users. The effect is really quite nice, I think.

Arialist is a very simple and clean two-column theme that has a settings page allowing users to change the anchor color, upload a logo, add a tagline, etc.

The idea here is to get a broad spectrum of themes together for the Moodle core that really showcase what the new theme engine is capable of achieving.

Let me know if you have any questions.
For those of you just now getting started on your Moodle 2.0 themes, you might want to have a look at two new themes I committed this morning.

Nonzero is a port of the theme by the same name I created for 1.9. This theme uses a middle-left-right column format like a blog. Might work as a great parent theme for some of your projects.

Leatherbound (another port) is a very simple theme built on Canvas and Base. The idea here was to create a new theme with very little code to change the look and feel.

I can't wait to see what all of you are creating. Happy theming.
