In the footer, I would like to make one of the sections some Quick Links. The problem is the color is a dark blue and when you actually hover over the link it is the same color as the theme. Can't see it at all. Can't seem to change it anywhere.
@Constance, I am not sure what you mean about teh colors being too dark, could you PM me a screen shot?
Yes we will be putting custom menus back but we want to get icons working with it which has been a bit tricky
@Baraa, we don't need RTL so its not going to be a priority, we will make a note of it and if its quick to do may add it. If you know what needs to be done and are able to give us a patch we can apply it to our copy.
@Dan, what size monitor are you using? I have seen that happen, sometimes on laptops when you go into "My Home" and turn "customize this page" on, but across the rest of the site I have not seen a problem with it. It should collapse some of the menus down to icons on smaller screens, by guess is your screen size maybe somewhere in between it being able to display correctly and collapsing.
If you can send a screen shot and confirm your screen size / resolution that would be a help.
Also, this theme ignores the custom menu items. Is there any plan to allow these to show?
I need some help with the menu colors. After you have followed a link, colors are too dark to read. I am currently testing the new themes on my PC with a Wamp stack and v2.8.3. I have a pic if you need it.
By the way, gorgeous theme!
very very very good them only thing i want to have the support for rtl langauge
and i created anthor langauge the lang switch does appeare
even i go to the lang folder in the them and add new folder with new lang
Hi,
Very nice theme you've got here. Customisation options are excellent.
One things though.
The "My Sites" link under the header appears on a separate line from the other links. Cant see it like that in your screenshots and looks a bit funny.
@Sumanta, thanks for your feedback smile
Which feature are you talking about in essential, the ability to drag sidebar blocks to the footer and hide them?
If so I am not sure we need that given our theme allows users to toggle blocks on / off already?
Also you can set SCORM up to open in a new window / popup so blocks need not be an issue there?
If you mean something else like hiding the footer blocks on certain pages we will probably be looking at that in the near future.
If I have misunderstood what you mean please let me know smile
Hi,
It's really a gorgeous fresh looking theme. Simple but feature packed. Thanks a lot for that. I was wondering how will I be able to add the feature of hiding blocks in the footer like Essential theme. It's a great little tool for SCORM player pages. I don't know whether it is even possible to add that feature as I guess you certainly do have some controller overlay on the blocks which is letting you hide and unhide blocks. Please let me know if possible and kindly give me some lead I will try to add that feature.
Thanks,
Sumanta
Firstly, thanks for this great theme... I just wanted to say that I'm having what might be a related problem. Namely that the slider image consumes the (almost the) full screen and I have to scroll-down to read the marketing banner and the rest of the page.
If I might ask a more specific question here and it is - how can we control the amount of screen devoted to the displayed slider image?
Thanks for any help that you can offer.....Pete
@Rolf, yes we will add an option for the target of that link
@Rene, yes we will add that option too
Hi Gents, I was wondering if it is possible to have the My Courses be displayed as a list rather than using one of the tiles choices? Theme looks great, and is very responsive. Thanks, Rene
Thanks a lot to all who are involved. That's what I was looking for! I already installed it and it looks fine!
I have been a litte to euphoric with my last comment regarding the "Help-Link". In deed I got it work, but one small idea for further developement remains: It would be fine to have the possibility to make the help-Link show up in a new ...href target="_blank"... page.
In fact that is not vital but would be nice.

Hi Rolf, the latest version should allow you to left align the blocks if you want to try it
Oh boy as easy as that... Thank you, works fine wink
Hi Rolf,
Just paste in the url (no html) with the http prefix like http://moodle.org/help and it will add the text / icon for you.
At the moment I don't think you can alter the text via language customization in Moodle for the link text so changing the text from "help" to something else would require a change to the theme. Those strings can be added to the lang pack easily enough (allowing you to use Moodles language customisation to update them), it just looks like they got missed.
