CourseForum/ProjectForum Theme Exchange
The full versions of both CourseForum and ProjectForum support a choice of different themes for the overall site and each forum. Themes control the overall appearance of each page; changing the theme will result in a radically different look for your pages.
Creating your Own Themes
Along with the built-in themes, you can create your own themes, which is ideal for corporate branding or any other purpose where you'd like a particular look and feel to your forums.
The Custom Themes HOWTO explains how to do this.
If you have created themes you'd like us to post here so they can be shared with others, please email us.
Sample Themes
To use any of these themes, first create a "themes" directory inside the "Course Data" or "Group Data" directory where your existing data files are stored. Download the zip file for the theme into the "themes" directory, and restart the application. The new theme can then be selected via any of the Site, Course, Group or Project Administration screens.
