Description

I've been using Anomaly from Patrick Malley for a while, and it's very pleasant to use with very few problems. This could be a new standard theme in Moodle 2.0!

I want to add it to HEAD to make things nicer for all us developers

Either there are missing files in the checkin, or the readme needs to be updated. The readme indicates there should be additional style_color.css files, but there are none.

I plan to add more styles_[color].css options. Give me a few weeks to get this done.

Your download must have been older. I have since moved away from using the rounded corner blocks because this theme does not use the Custom Corners engine.

I recommend downloading a fresh copy.

Daniele would be using the one in Moodle core I suspect ...

I tried the new one from your site, Patrick, but I have to say removing those rounded corners took away a lot of what was nice about the theme!

What was the accessibility problem? Is there not some other fix?

To do the rounded corners correctly, I'll just need to turn Custom Corners on and do the styling. Not a big deal to put them back in. I know this is what people prefer.

Just an update - I've put the rounded corners back in the theme available for download at http://newschoollearning.com/downloads/anomaly.zip - this download file works with Moodle 1.9.x for testing. I will code a different version for 2.0.

Ralf - the styles are purposely missing for the course description block. Moodle 1.9.x does not generate a header for this block, therefore I have nothing to attach the header background image onto. This will not be an issue for 2.0 because I'll be able to create my own wrappers for all sideblocks.

Patrick "this download file works with Moodle 1.9.x for testing. I will code a different version for 2.0. "

1- Does this mean that at the moment (until further notice) we should only test (and report) Anomaly on a moodle 1.9 install (NOT on a 2.0)?

2- Should test reports be reported here in the bug tracker or on the moodle theme forum in this discussion : http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=129744

Hi Joseph,

Yes. Please only test and report bugs on the 1.9 version of my newest themes. Moodle 2.0 themes require additional coding that is not quite ready to be done yet. For example, we have to work out how we'll remove the layout table for content. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be working on the 2.0 themes and will post when they're ready for testing. In the meantime, I suppose it's best just to notify me of problems in the forum.
