Introduction
============
Shoelace theme with a light feel through colour and font selection.

Required version of Moodle
==========================
This version works with Moodle version 2013111800 release 2.6 (Build: 20131118) and above within the 2.6 branch until the
next release.

Please ensure that your hardware and software complies with 'Requirements' in 'Installing Moodle' on
'docs.moodle.org/26/en/Installing_Moodle'.

3. Make a backup of your old 'shoelace' folder in '/theme/' and then delete the folder.

Reporting Issues
================
Before reporting an issue, please ensure that you are running the latest version for your release of Moodle. It is essential
that you are operating the required version of Moodle as stated at the top - this is because the theme relies on core
functionality that is out of its control.

I operate a policy that I will fix all genuine issues for free. Improvements are at my discretion. I am happy to make bespoke
customisations / improvements for a negotiated fee.

When reporting an issue you can post in the theme's forum on Moodle.org (currently 'moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=46')
or contact me direct (details at the bottom).

It is essential that you provide as much information as possible, the critical information being the contents of the format's
version.php file. Other version information such as specific Moodle version, theme name and version also helps. A screen shot
can be really useful in visualising the issue along with any files you consider to be relevant.

Version Information
===================
17th March 2014 - Version 2.6.1.3
1. Put back logo serving code that was accidentally removed in version 2.6.0.2.
2. Note: The moodle.css file has been compiled against Moodle 2.6.2+ (Build: 20140314), if you need a previous version or are
experiencing odd things, please recompile using the instructions in less/Readme_Less.md.

6th March 2014 - Version 2.6.1.2
1. Fixed HTML blocks having centred content in the footer block.
2. Made all footer blocks the same height when editing so that they are easier to move. Also prevents blocks becoming orphaned
on a row when they should be on the next.
3. Updated LESS build process to no longer overwrite bootstrap variables.less file.

24th February 2014 - Version 2.6.1.1.
1. Fix situation where the 'cdnfonts' setting has not been created.

3. Updated screen shot to reflect updates.

30th November 2013 Version 2.6.0.3
1. Added ability to choose between local and CDN sources for fonts. This means that I had to change Quicksand for Cabin
as quite frankly the former looked awful when coming from CDN. This was because I had used it as a content font but
the variety available on CDN was limited and switching it around as the header with Varela Round did not look good
either. Thanks to Julian Ridden for showing the way with this.

29th November 2013 Version 2.6.0.2
1. Added popup layout from bootstrapbase.
2. Removed excluded grade sheet.
3. Updated to use M2.6 font serving mechanism.

in the 'less/Readme_less.md' file.

2. Added new font 'Varela Round' for headings so that they are separated from the main text.
3. Block headings are no longer all upper case as this looks silly.
4. Blocks use the warning background and border scheme so that they do not dominate the page.
5. Tidied up form buttons on screen sizes less than 480px.

29th June 2013 Version 2.5.2.
1. Updated to changes implemented by MDL-39824 and proposed by MDL-40065 but in a way that they are local to Shoelace and
therefore should not require an update to core M2.5.
