Hello Urs,

I'd like to help support your cause by offering this:

It's not much, but it's a start.

I'll do my best to come up with more practical reasons why templates are needed.

Overall, though, I'm a.) getting sick of telling clients that they can't change certain aspects of their theme without altering the core code, and b.) seeing a lot of great design inspiration that will never make it's way into a Moodle theme since it's simply not possible.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Yes. The code Joseph has referenced is in your theme's header.html file. Is that all you were waiting for? Or, is there something else?

I found this theme last week as well. It contains a bunch of useful PHP to create what I'm looking for.

I'll share what I learn when I have something that functions.

Thank you for this. I'll have a look at the sideblock code sometime this week.

you will need to edit the contents of footer.html in /theme/standarwhite/
