Standard themes
Standard themes
Moodle has two standard themes: Boost and Classic, a responsive, bootstrap-based theme combining the navigation structure of the deprecated Clean and More themes and the customisation options of the Boost theme.
Other themes are available from the Themes section of the Moodle plugins directory.
Example of a customised Boost theme
The following code uses standard Boost with customisations as follows:
- An image for the front page and a background image need to be uploaded and referenced in the code.
- Front page topic section:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
YOUR HEADING
SENTENCE/TAG LINE
SMALLER HEADING
Paragraph of text
SMALLER HEADING
Paragraph of text.
</syntaxhighlight>

Theme selector
An administrator can set a theme for the site from Site administration > Appearance > Themes.
- Go to Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Themes.
- Click on the Select theme button next to the theme you wish to use.
Note 1: Moodle caches themes so if you don't immediately see changed settings that you were expecting click the Clear theme caches button at the top of the Themes page.
Note 2: The selected theme may be overridden if user/course or category themes have been allowed in the Theme settings.
