Morecandy
Morecandy has the added ability for Admins to add a Carousel slide-show to the site topic area, and also within the topic areas of the course pages. The individual images can be uploaded using the Text Editor, so this makes it easier for Admins and Editing teachers.
My intention for this theme is to keep building on it and add 'more candy' such as a 'dropdown' hidden block region like Aardvark Post-IT had, Marketing blocks, and other functionality.
You can add marketing spots in any section of the frontpage where there is either a 'Welcome note' or a 'Footnote' area in the Morecandy setting's page.
The HTML is pretty simple: This adds two sections to the page wherever you wish to add them.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6">
<h2>What's new?</h2>
<p>Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus. Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod. Donec sed odio dui.</p>

Thanks for the heads up!

I did not add the webkit fixes as it was just a prototype I was working on. I will make sure they are in my next version. Thanks again for letting me know about this problem in Safari and I also suspect in Chrome too!!!

I will see what I can do and get an update out as quick as I can.
When I click on it, it redirects me to "404 not found", and says the link is pointing to mywebsite/my/.
I managed to solve the problem looking into the code in the banner.php file, where I found that the html link element had href="<'. $CFG->wwwroot .'>" as attribute; so I deleted the angle brackets and then the link was redirecting to the right page.
I don't know if it was an issue only to me, but I hope this post will be helpful for others.
The answer is in that link.
Sadly since that comment, there has been a a death in the family and so I have not had time to fix this theme.
So sorry for the inconvenience.

This is to let you know that there is a new revised updated theme for 2.9. Be sure you upgrade to the latest version of Moodle 2.9 to benefit from the changes to the theme.
