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

$description = get_string('socialwallheaddesc', 'theme_evolved');
It is just the admin page that displays some text about socialwall. Try that and let me know.
Should probably also say that the gray text in gray box problem is only for the self-registration directions (not the login box that prompts for username and password) ... we are temporarily doing email self-registration as a way to get our students registered for accounts on our site.
Very nice looking theme overall - thanks for all your work
With me on the side that is "custum menu" is not displayed and I can not find the problem. All settings as shown in the video are set. I use Moodle 2.9 and Evolv-D 2.9
Do you have any idea?
greetings Sio
Kudos for a beautiful theme. I have "evolved" from the Essential and Elegance themes to adopting your Evolve-D theme this year. (I hope you do not get requests for an "Intelligent Design-D" version from creationist users!).
I have had a request to add a "Register here" button on the front page. In this thread, you previously mentioned (Mon, 9 Mar 2015, 8:30 AM) using the Force login feature to do this. However, this means the custom homepage is no longer accessed.
Is it not possible to edit the code with a simple "Register here" link?

I see that forcing users to login does not override the custom front page, so that is a workable solution. I would still prefer a more discreet "New user?" link on the front page rather than the full instructions for creating a new account -- it takes away from the beauty of the front page design.
