Hi Dirk,
What version are you using?

Hi All, We have BCU implemented on our server, and we are seeing a potential issue with alignment when we are doing a backup. The checkboxes for each topic name are much further right than the label, and they are on the next line. We would like to have the the Topic label and the checkbox closer to each other, and on the same line to make it clearer. I am not sure if this is done by design. I have screen shots available to make things clear. Would also like to know if that is what everyone else is seeing. Thanks, Rene

After a student receives a notification message, student sees a blank screen after logging in. I added $string['unreadnewnotification'] = 'New notification'; to lang/en/messages.php but no luck
Below is from debugging:
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'unreadnewnotification' or component 'message'. Perhaps you are missing $string['unreadnewnotification'] = ''; in lang/en/message.php?

Hi Rene,
Would you be able to send me a screenshot of this and I can help with it? I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to, but that's more likely me being tired than your description!
Thanks

Hi All, We are just about ready to roll BCU theme onto our server here at Northern Lakes College. We noticed that the top scroll bar in the grader report isn't working. I flipped a course to Clean, and it seems OK. Has this been disabled in the theme, or is it possible that the Custom CSS I am using has disabled it. Thanks, Rene

Hi Guildford College,
We were quite pleased to see ULCC adding our theme to their list as it is particularly useful for us to get feedback from other colleges and Universities. It should be fairly easy to add options to turn each of those items on and off, we will try and add it this week.

We are on Moodle 2.8 and have the BCU theme installed (by ULCC). I've modified the css override to hide the main title, change the message rollover colour and change the login name background colour to transparent - .headermenu {background-color:transparent;}
.headermenu a {text-decoration:none;} / .nav li a:hover {background-color:transparent;} / #coursetitle {display:none;}
Is there a way to hide the top nav items: Home / My home / Events / My sites / This course? They are all so I don't think its possible via css. The problem we have is that we already have a top menu so having thse items as well fills up the whole top nav bar.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for pointing this out, I think Mike has replied to you to say you can do this in the custom css settings for now. We will add this as a setting in the theme shortly

Is there anyway to change the color of the font in the course list and in the blocks? It is #002f67 and I cannot seem to find anywhere to update it. Thanks

@Tim,
Have you tried to assign a custom CSS to the header and footer classes?

Hi there .. love the theme. Is there anyway to edit the fonts used for the footer header and foter text used in the four footer areas.?

Hi Helmut,
3) That sounds great . As Mike said it would need to be configurable in the theme settings, so you could add a different header layout including a user icon but would also need to add an option so that admins could choose which type of header they wanted to use.
We don't actually use that header on our main site as we inject a centrally controlled header using jQuery that has icons / updates from other systems (email alerts, library returns etc) so there is quite a lot of scope to improve that.
You can see what this looks like here if you are interested: http://1drv.ms/1GFWbr3

Hey Mike,
1) Ah okay, I know that feeling...
2) I used the AMOS translation tool and some strings are missing from the development version. I didn't write them down, but one I remember is "Search Courses" from the search box.
3) Yeah, makes sense. I thought about bug fixing work and some other stuff, e.g.: Inclusion of Font Awesome for navigation icons, a user image (if available) instead of an icon on top, display of course tiles also in course areas (if chosen), etc. So basically little steps which imho make a better experience.
All the best,
Helmut
