    Description

      Moodle 2.7 contains two "base" themes that developers are maintaining:

      • base: the old deprecated base theme with minimal CSS to be functional.
      • bootstrapbase: the new responsive base theme with minimal CSS to be functional.

      As well as this theme that a lot of community themes use as a parent theme:

      • canvas: created by New School Learning but no longer maintained much

      None of the above themes are selectable for use as themes themselves.

      Moodle 2.7 will have two selectable themes based on bootstrapbase:

      • clean: as default, implementing almost pure bootstrapbase and to provide an clonable example of a basic theme
      • more: to allow basic admins to make simple tweaks to colours, images and CSS from UI without needing to touch files.

      Everything else should be removed and put into github.com as public projects (if anyone wants to maintain them) and moodle.org/plugins for download:

      • afterburner
      • anomaly
      • arialist
      • binarius
      • boxxie
      • brick
      • formal_white
      • formfactor
      • fusion
      • leatherbound
      • magazine
      • nimble
      • nonzero
      • overlay
      • serenity
      • sky_high
      • splash
      • standard
      • standardold
