In this chapter, we will cover the basics of Moodle theming, including theme types, priority, location of the theme directory, and the concept of parent themes. We will also cover browsing and changing a theme within Moodle, and searching for, downloading, and installing custom themes. We will then finish off by changing the theme settings in the Moodle theme settings page. This is necessary because you will need a good understanding of how Moodle themes work to continue with the rest of the book and to be able to ultimately create your own theme(s) from scratch.
Here we shall cover:
What is a Moodle theme?
Browsing and selecting a Moodle theme
Searching for and downloading a Moodle theme
Installing a Moodle theme
Changing Moodle's theme settings
So, let's get on with it...
