* Social Icons - Quickly add all your social media buttons in the footer
* Enhanced Frontpage - Navigation Iconbar, Custom Textbox, Alertbox, Six Marketing Tiles
* Customized Course Header Image - Teachers can upload an image into their course summary files and it will automatically be used in the header of their course.

##Recommended Settings for Best Results
These settings below are found in the Moodle Site Administration Pages. These are not related to the theme but will help bring out the best of Fordson.

* defaulthomepage = SITE (Default homepage for users. If set to Dashboard your users will not see the Enhanced Homepage upon login.)
* frontpage = none (Frontpage items to show. Part of Moodle Frontpage Settings tab.)
* frontpageloggedin = none or Enrolled Courses (Frontpage items to show when logged in. Part of Moodle Frontpage Settings tab.)
* Optional: forcelogin = Checked (This forces users to login before seeing the homepage.)

The Fordson Moodle theme is named after the first one million dollar high school ever built in America.
Fordson High School is stunningly beautiful with rich history and tradition.
Built in a time when hand-crafted woodwork, marble and bronze statues, and attention to detail was the norm.
Now a Michigan Historical Site, Fordson High School is just as beautiful as the day it was built.

Fordson is a child theme of Boost.
This means when Moodle updates the core Boost theme those changes will be applied to Fordson as well in most cases.
