Locating the Moodle theme directory


The Moodle theme directory can be found at Local Disk C:/Moodle30/server/moodle/theme, as shown in the following screenshot:

The directory has the following Moodle themes as standard: base, bootstrapbase, canvas, clean, and more. When we click on any of these Moodle themes, we can display a list of folders and files which are contained in the Moodle theme. For instance, in this case, we click on moodle | theme | more and these are the files and folders that we can find, as shown in the following screenshot:

Each Moodle theme file and folder contains information and can be edited so as to customize Moodle themes. We will deal with these folders in later chapters; so far, we have learned where to locate Moodle themes and their folders.
