Adaptable is a highly customisable responsive two column theme with an abundance of features. The concept behind adaptable is to have a common theme developed and tested by a community of users which can be branded and configured according to each organisations needs. The freedom to brand and customise whilst sharing the burden of testing and development.

In addition many fields (menus, news items, alerts and help links) can be targeted using custom profile fields, thus it is possible to present different users with different navigation items and notices.
It is also possible for individual users to customise where they want top menu navigation to appear (disable, home pages only, site wide) using custom profile fields.
Adaptable has a lot of settings and may seem daunting at first, our advice is to simply install with the default settings and play with it afterwards.
With a little time you should be able to set up an attractive Moodle site with a high degree of individuality without without knowing any CSS.

Thanks
Would love if few things are addressed:
1. Main menus on front page are shown as (linked menu) which is not user friendly. Users are not able to identify that. Instead the menu can be given in-line with announcement row.
2. While quiz attempt, timer is given at the bottom of sections. It should be on the top of sections or top corner. If sections/questions are more, students are unable to see the timer easily i.e. they have to scroll down all the way, which waste their time.
3. In quiz report, we can not get section wise report and also right answers and also report containing wrong answers and right answers by a student. Which is an essential part of assessment. Please address if its in your scope.
However, I have become a fan of this clean and responsive (in true sense) website.
Is there an Visual CSS Layout Guide or reference of where all the classes and ID's are for quick reference? This would be very beneficial to its users......Thanks you.
The Adptable site is not active.
Is there any information regarding a possible update of the theme to solve the problem?
How do I remove the banner across the top, please!
Regards,
Marta
