Hi Dirk

Looking forward to your release of Essential 2.

Does your new version maintain a 'look-and-feel' consistent with the latest versions of the Moodle Essential theme, now maintained by Gareth J. Barnard?

This would  be nice for us running Mahoodle setups.

Cheers.

Hi Geoff,

thanks for the link. Nice to see its being upgraded and maintained also. The plan is to maintain Essenial 2 for longer term also.

We'll see what we get. I asked for a match. I try to stay out of the way of the development part and leave it up to the developer to make smart choices. (small budget)  I am thinking it will be based on Less but maybe not. In any case, it will be nice.

The Eyekea pair we did is a pretty close match and builds on existing core themes I believe so there are few surprises in moodle grade book or mahara groups for example. Its got a separate banner and logo and you could probably tweak it your way nicely. https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=7445
