I wouldn't call Rebel a threat. Fordson has been updated to work with Moodle 3.10. We do think Rebel is much simpler and offers a much better user experience.
Just a few thoughts/feedback:
1. Probably still needs to be a login/log-out button in top right header. Users are so well trained to that UX experience from facebook/twitter and other social.
2. Would be good to have a settings option to control the size of the title & navigation headers to maximise content screen realestate.
3. Would be great if the main region/content block could use up the full width, or more width. So that there is more screen realestate for content. At the moment the core navigation column on the left resizes to take up more room than it needs too.
1. Due to the breadcrumbs being at the top of the page it might create problems to put the user menu back up there. I feel you might be right about the user experience part due to people being trained to look there. My other thought was maybe put the logout item on the Dashboard links across the top of the page. That is where the other user menu items went. It would make sense to include the logout there too.
2. Could be done with CSS.
3. Might be more difficult since I am using a Bootstap column
Loving this theme. And just to let you know https://github.com/dbnschools/moodle-theme_rebel/issues/13

Could you tell me how I do it, I don't see the option. Thank you
Thank you for your new Rebel format.
Are you thinking of integrating a Jitsi video conferencing button like in your Fordson Theme which is my favorite graphic theme?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely

Moodle particularly useful since the beginning
- How can I shorten the height of the Headerlinks Navbar? On my site, it looks big with too much empty space above and below the buttons for profile, preferences, grades.
- How did you make your courses show up as a card with the progress bar underneath?
Thank you again. Appreciate your help and the work you're doing to create this theme for us!
Unfortunately this very simple theme no longer works in Moodle 4.2.1+.
It's a shame.
So I'm switching to LearnR!
Best regards.
