Aardvark
The Aardvark project started in 2008 after a focus group with students led the development of our somewhat basic and neglected installation of Moodle into a (at the time) modern and engaging platform. The idea was to drive student use by creating a colourful, MySpace-inspired, student intranet as the front-end, with the functionality of a VLE behind it. Pressure from those students would then ultimately drive adoption by tutors.
Over the years, Aardvark has been an exciting and arguably inspiring project, started at Newbury College, but benefiting from the contributions and expertise of many other developers. It was the first open-source Moodle theme to include a drop-down navigation menu, a concept that would eventually become a core element of Moodle theme engine, and at its peak was installed on over 5,000 Moodle installations around the world.
Development
of Aardvark slowed down a few years ago as many of its advantages were
adopted as features in the core theme engine of Moodle and a lack of
development time meant that I was no longer able to keep up with the
changes required to make the theme compatible with the latest releases.
Unfortunately I have had to make the decision to cease development of
Aardvark to focus on other commitments.
Aardvark has been an incredible project to work on, and I have learnt a huge amount about PHP and CSS along the way and I would like to thank everyone who has contacted me over the years with their kind comments. Special thanks to Mary L Evans, Patrick Malley and all of the other contributors and supporters who have been part of this journey.

Also having a little niggle with the menu when enabled...
- when not logged in the menu items don't show up (but bar is there)
- in IE after logging in the top bar disappears (fine in IE \ Chrome)
Found this after some testing (Ubuntu)
Tried with both Moodle.org and Github versions
<?php
/* TO SHOW MENU AT ALL TIMES - REMOVE THE 3 LINES BELOW */
/* if (!isloggedin() or isguestuser()) { */
/* } */
/* else */
if ($hascustommenu) { ?>
?>
Now after upgrading from Aardvark 2.1.1 to 2.2 in moodle 2.2 I got the problem, that on "pages" or "folders" the blocks don't appear, especially the Settings-block is important to edit the page.
Anyone with the same problems and much more important, with a solution?
I was installed the Aardvark them last week, and I like it,but i have some problems, i want to change the color of my profile ,my moodle,comming event from black to an other color like white and i want to change the width of blocks like calender (maximaze the width)
Thank You for this greet them
