Customizing the look of your Moodle site


You've now learned how to automate authentication and enrollment, and integrate Moodle with other company systems. What about the look and feel of your Moodle site? Do you have a company logo, website header, or custom theme that you want to apply to your Moodle site to make it similar to the look of your company's other systems?

Moodle has several themes available out-of-the-box. Some of these themes have forms that allow you to customize them even more. If you have a very customized corporate theme, and nothing out-of-the-box will do, then you will want to create a custom theme.

In this section, we will cover the different themes Moodle offers, ways to customize them, and the different theme settings.
