Lewis Carr (@lewiscarr) has done it again. Now available for download from his site is one of the best looking themes available for Moodle. The theme is Moodle with Mootools, which borrows from the striking theme at Leeds Community College’s Park Lane Campus Moodle and provides teachers a crisp three column course environment and students with customizable colors and aesthetics.
Check out the Leeds site to check out the theme customization options: http://moodle.parklane.ac.uk/.
Lewis says that this version is a work in progress, here are some of the other features that may be available in the future:
Code cleanup (make more standards compliant)
Add extras to the dashboard
Tailor the menus to the user (i.e recognize logins etc..)
Please feel free to give it a try and send me any feedback (positive feedback obviously!!!)
Include suggestions based on the Moodle community feedback!

Checking it out now.. I think I found my future theme to modify and work with for out district!
Great work. Congratulations.
Even this, I found the undefined variable $course in mootoolsbeta/panelloggedin.html on line 14
Simply change in mootoolsbeta/panelloggedin.html on line 14
id, $user->picture, true, false, false);?>
to
id, $USER->picture, true, false, false);?>
Ciao and thanks for the great contribution.
