Overview of this book

Theming is one of the main features of Moodle, and it can be used to customize your online courses and make them look exactly how you want them to,according to your target audience. If you have been looking for a book that will help you develop Moodle themes that you are proud of, and that your students will enjoy, then this is the book for you. We start off by introducing Moodle 3 and explaining what it is, how it works, and what tools you might need to create a stunning Moodle theme. We then show you how to choose and change the pre-installed Moodle themes in detailed steps, and explain what Moodle themes are and how they work. Next, we show you how to change an existing theme and test the changes that you have made. You can not only plan the customization of theme, but also tailor it using advanced Moodle theming processes; this book is your one-stop guide to creating your own personalized Moodle 3 theme.

Summary


In this chapter, we have learned how to add images and text to the footer and the header. We have also added hyperlinks to social networks in Moodle on-premises. As well as that, we have also added a slide show and modified the front page, changing the look and feel of the Moodle course. We have made some changes to MoodleCloud, taking into account its limitations. There are customizable areas, though.

We are ready to keep on changing the look and feel of Moodle on-premises and MoodleCloud in the next chapter, in which we will customize elements with CSS.
