Adaptable - the most adaptable moodle theme

Adaptable is a highly customizable responsive two column moodle theme based on the popular BCU theme adding:

In addition many fields (menus, news items, alerts and help links) can be targeted using custom profile fields, thus it is possible to present different users with different navigation items and notices. It is also possible for individual users to customize where they want top menu navigation to appear (disable, home pages only, site wide) using custom profile fields.

Adaptable has a lot of settings and may seem daunting at first, our advice is to simply install with the default settings and play with it afterwards.

With a little time you should be able to setup an attractive Moodle site with a high degree of individuality without without knowing any CSS.
