Evolve-D(earborn) encapsulates simplicity, function, and style as it unites many notable Moodle theme features into an evolved "More" theme. Evolve-D applies famed theme elements such as custom frontpage, Google Fonts, My Courses dropdown, block icons, and a variety of other enhancements made popular in Essential and Aardvark Themes. The evolve-D theme's appeal comes from it's simple 2 column design, muted colors, and focus on displaying content and minimizing distractions.
Dearborn Public Schools is a K-12 school distict in Dearborn, Michigan. We designed and use evolve-D on our Moodle site.
Special thanks to Aardvark and Essential theme developers Shaun Daubney and Julian Ridden for thier work which is replicated in part here.
Much like the Model T the evolve-D theme has interchangeable parts from other themes that are bolted onto the More theme to improve useability, functionality, style, and appeal.
