This is the theme from the moodle site of Birmingham City University. It's based on bootstrap and allows for extensive customisation and some unique features to help improve Moodle's usability.

Thanks for sharing this awesome theme.
Is there a way to customize the images shown for courses when in the tile with overlay mode?
There are a few threads on Mozilla support forums about this citing a couple of possible causes.
I was going to say it could be an issue with your test server setup, but that is unlikely given chrome is working.
There maybe an issue with the them, or at least somethign that can be improved, but at this point I would suggest the most likely cause is your FF setup.
1) I was thinking about that earlier as it happens. I think we will add an option to get rid of that.
2) Can you tell me what you mean by "break"?
This has never been tested in 2.8, there are still outstanding issues on 2.7 which is what we are using in production at the moment, once those issues are resolved we will start working on 2.8 issues ahead of our next upgrade.
I use both chrome and FireFox and have not seen an icons, none of our users have reported it either, though the version here on Moodle.Org is higher than the one we are currently using on prod, so there maybe a glitch in it. Again, it would help to know what you mean by "break"
1: if logo is uploaded, why still the site name shows up besides logo? any possibility to remove that?
2: Icons tend to break on FireFox (Windows Platform), though worked on Chrome. or is it that I have installed it on Moodle 2.8?
We have removed the glyphicons from the theme entirely.
Thanks
The only thing that blocks me from approving the theme immediately is the question of fonts included with the package. The origin of font files seems to be unclear, as well as their licenses. I have to insist on a proper documentation (e.g. in a README or LICENSES file in the fonts/ directory) that would list all the font files, their original location and their license (maybe that the file https://docs.moodle.org/dev/NEWMODULE_Documentation#thirdpartylibs.xml would be even better). We need to make sure that it is OK to distribute every single file in a GNU/GPLv3 package. For example, if the glyphicons halflings come from their FREE package, there are quite strict conditions of their usage - http://glyphicons.com/license/ - and it must be checked if such requirements are compatible with GPL3.
I am marking this as needing more work unless we sort this issue out. Thanks for understanding and for your patience with the approval process.
