evolve-D
Introducing evolve-D(earborn). A Moodle theme that is based off More but with an abundance of enhancements that evolved into a new theme. Evolve-D sports a clean, minimal design with a focus on simplicity to minimize distractions. What makes this theme different is it's new approach to the Moodle frontpage. Logged in users are presented with a custom homepage while logged out users get a beautiful login page with a fullscreen image background. You can even opt to use the built in login form or the standard Moodle login form. Each login form has unique styling and a beautiful fullscreen image background.
Features
- Custom login page with fullscreen image background for logged out users
- Simplified, custom Moodle homepage for logged in users
- Two Column theme with blocks on the right
- Support for Moodle's Socialwall Course Format. If you use the Socialwall Course Format the evolve-D theme is the perfect companion as it contains super nice styling for the post interface and timeline posts.
- Four image slideshow on custom homepage
- Visual Separation of Topics/weeks. Unique styling creates a visual separation of weeks/topics with the ability to customize the background color in theme settings.
- Custom Logo
- Marketing Spots at bottom of page
- Fontawesome support
- Custom Menu "My Courses" dropdown
- General and Weather Alert notices for users
- Custom Colors
Moodle 3.2 compatibility
Several people have asked if there will be releases of Evolve-D beyond Moodle 2.9 to be compatible with Moodle 3.2. After much debate we decided the best option was to take many of the features from Evolve-D and to build a new theme moving forward called Fordson. Fordson is a child theme of the new Moodle default theme Boost. Fordson builds on Evolve-D by incorporating a better custom homepage with up to six marketing spots, custom page header image for both the site and individual courses, and of course... Style Presets which can transform your site to give it a unique look and feel! I am even working on an "evolve-D" style preset so that the content areas and blocks will have a similar look and feel to evolve-D with the great new features of Boost.
If you like Evolve-D, I hope you check out Fordson: https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_fordson

Let me take a look at it and see what I can do. I'll try to have a new version out the door next week if I can make something blended into the frontpage that isn't distracting.
Any ideas on that?

You could use the homepage text box to insert a few courses you want to highlight. I can see if we can include something like this in the future but this feature isn't on a roadmap yet for my organization. Frankie Kam here on Moodle.org did some fantastic updates to the slideshow feature and I am going to include those in the next release.
Great theme. I am wondering whether the git repository on github is still valid and active, because it appears that it is a bit out of sync with the releases here.
Thank you

#page-mod-quiz-attempt .breadcrumb-nav .breadcrumb {
display: none;
}
Just make sure it only hides breadcrumbs on the quiz attempt pages. This will apply sitewide for all quizzes.
Any opinion will be appreciated.
When I hide all blocks it becomes OK. But as I show a block (not core blocks. I mean blocks from any other plugins) it will face with that problem in chrome. (Everything is good in other browsers. Also there is no problem when I use blocks of the core.)
