Sorry but I have an issue in that the the Link Colour is not accepting the setting in the theme. I am using Moodle 2.8.7.
I am having an issue in that some menu links are showing with the colour set in the theme whilst others are not. For instance under Site Administration Notifications and Registration show as expected(#1E9CFA) whilst Advanced Features shows as #fff. This is happening throughout the menu
Can anyone inform me how to change the font? My whole site is in Arial at the moment and I'd prefer tahoma
Sorry one more point, if you want the picture to remain in the centre you have to add margin: auto; after the width
I don't know if this is useful to anyone but I've seen a few comments about the size of the slider image. I've managed to scale down the picture size by changing the width in the slider.css file. If you reduce the % it does not affect the image ratio (so far as I can tell). Hope this is helpful.
Hi - can someone tell me where to change the border colour for blocks in the style sheets please?
Hi,
Congratulation for the excellent theme. Can someone tell me how to put a background image for the login page?
I really like the ability to add an image to a course description, and this shows up on the front page list of courses - but can someone tell me what the optimum ratio is for this image?
@Juan,
Our slider images are 1140 x 300 they will work well, but if you go full screen on a large monitor they do look big.
It is possible to edit the jquery to alter the size but I would not recommend it as any future theme updates you make will overwrite your changes (unless you maintain changes in your own GIT).
A few people have asked about this now, I guess it would make sense if this were configurable, it maybe something we go back and look at as we have the same issue and in fact disable the slider on our homepage most of the time for this reason (only using it to notify of changes, events or perhaps "welcome" at the start of the academic year, so being able to switch between different sized sliders would be useful.
In the mean time your best bet is to stick with 1140 x 300.
Hi Idiye,
I think you have pulled the wrong version down from our GIT repository, can you try this download instead please:

Hi,
Just a quick two question.
1. This theme requires cdn1.bcu.ac.uk up. Last day we haven't reach that site. As a result of this our moodle site didn't work. After tha i looked site and download BCU Toolkit. How can i install it? Just unzip from theme folder? And also which code must i remove from existing linked to uk site?
2. I customized BCU theme. What will happen my customization if i upgrade BCU theme to the upper version?
Thanks

Very nice for the language no problem.
First congratulate you for the excellent theme, I am using all my personal work platforms.
Secondly, I am having problems with the slides. or to be exact with "Frontpage Slider" because when upload images of different resolutions giants I always go on the screen. I want to lower the resolution or the size of the box where cruise slides. www.colegiolapresentaciongirardot.org is my place and I have not podidoo change this.
2.6 moodle use remain attentive to the situation
Thanks for your attention and good heart.
Hola Juan, La traducción de su consulta no tiene ningún sentido en absoluto. Así que puede usted por favor vuelva a preguntar en Inglés para que podamos entender?
Muchachos excelente tema, no saben lo agradecido que estoy, me ha tocado cacharriarle arto al cuento, pero tengo un grave problema como el de mi amigo de arriba.
1. Frontpage Slider
CUSTOMISE THE CAROUSEL ON THE FRONT PAGE no me deja llamar url..dice que archivos con error no cargados, y o cuando subo una foto sale de tamaño gigante....como puedo bajar a la resolucion de este espacio...que sea mas banner y no tamaño gigante????
gracias
@Glenn, I think the latest version on our GIT repo should have the moodledocs fix in it
@Jayapramod You would need to edit the javscript for that which I would not recommend, 444 x 200 is an odd size. If you can produce slider images 1140 x 300 they will work well
