What are themes?

• Themes provide a "skin" to completely change the look and feel of your site (or even an individual course).
• Moodle sites (with the exception of MoodleCloud sites) come with two Standard themes called Boost and Classic.
• If you are able to add additional plugins to your site, you can download and install contributed themes from the Themes area of the Plugins directory. More information is available from Installing a new theme.

You can change from one of the two standard themes Boost or Classic, or select a newly installed theme from Site administration > Appearance > Themes.
