Moodle Tip - Finding Themes

Problem - The themes that come with Moodle aren’t that great. Where can I find more?

Solution -
There are several places to find free Moodle themes. Here are some that I’ve used successfully:

1. Moodle’ Web Site

2. ThemZa Moodle Themes - I love this site, it has tons of education friendly themes. Many thanks to the ThemZa folks!

3. Foodle Theme - A specific theme that purports to look like Facebook. It doesn’t exactly, but is nice nonetheless…I’m using this one in several sites for it’s simple look.

4. Brightly Colored Themes - “brightly colored themes based on standard themes”

5. New School Themes - Here are the free ones they offer:
   Anomaly Theme
   Simplicity Theme

6. The Haley eLearning Center specializes in elearning consulting, training and development and has published 7 great themes for Moodle 1.9 available for download.

   The theme names are Indonesian (as are the developers) and they are:

   • Langit Cihampelas
   • Cibeureum
   • Katumbiri
   • Bulao
   • Gerkalong
   • Pasar Lama
   • Cibiru

If you ever decide to make your own themes—a task I’m not up to yet and may never be—here are some places to start for online tutorials:

• Make Your Own Theme
• Creating a Custom Theme
• Theme Basics
• MoodleMan’s series of video tutorials

And, some Moodle sites that have themes in place that I like and I’m envious of:

• Youth Take Action
• RedHill School in the UK
