- fixed user styles in base theme
- added new divs for better control on user profile and user index pages
- reduced data on course user profiles down to minimum
- removed user/tabs.php completely and all uses of it
- changed default user icon pix to something very bland (bye bye smiley cake)
Very big theme changes, standardold theme has been split into two themes base and standard. Base theme contains only CSS that is absolutly required (e.g. layout, white space rules, specific widths) and standard (which now looks like standardwhite) contains all the frills.
The following noteable changes have also been made:
* Plugin CSS has been pushed back into the plugin directories as styles.css files.
* Install_print_header has been corrected.
* Redundant or deprecated rules have been removed.
* Several minor class changes throughout Moodle.
* CSS is now single line rules not multiline indented.
* Installs with theme=standardold automatically switch to standard.
* body classes / id now have prefixes to make it clearer what they are and avoid conflicts.
Also worth noting:
* There is still alot of tweaking that is required to get everything looking as it is supposed to, please be patient or better yet help out.
* I am currently working on the documentation for the themes system... it will be here soon.
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
* Writing lots more PHPdoc comments for all the settings.
* Strip the comments from the standard theme config.php (see below)
* Move finding the layout template from moodle_core_renderer to the theme_config class
* Move loading meta.php files from moodle_core_renderer to the theme_config class
* MDL-19719 Remove support for $THEME->langsheets, and lang/.../styles.php
* MDL-19719 Put the Vietnamese-specific code into the standard theme
* Support for styles.php in all plugin types (at the theme's discretion). (c/f MDL-16438)
* More PHP doc comments for moodle_core_renderer methods.
About stripping comments from config.php: I'm not sure if this
is a good idea, and I may revert this bit. I am hoping that once
http://phpdocs.moodle.org/HEAD/moodlecore/theme_config.html has
been updated, that will be better than copying and pasting these
comments into every theme. I intend to post in the themes forum
to canvas opinions.
Also, part of the change from weblib.php functions to $OUTPUT-> methods.
This is part of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Theme_engines_for_Moodle%3F
This is a big change, and the result is not perfect yet. Expect some debugging output
on some pages.
The main part of these changes are that $OUTPUT->header now looks for a file
in the theme called layout.php, rather than header.html and footer.html. Also
you can have special templates for certain pages like layout-home.php. There is
fallback code for Moodle 1.9 themes, so they still work.
A few of the old arguments to print_header are no longer supported. (You get an
exception if you try to use them.) Sam H will be cleaning those up.
All the weblib functions that have been replaced with $OUTPUT-> have version in
deprecatedlib, so existing code will go on working for the foreseeable future.
automatically included into the HEAD section of the current theme.
Supports parent and standard files too.
I added this to support the inclusion of some IE specific CSS :-( which needs
to be done from HTML and not CSS, (MDL-7782) but it could be used to include other things
as well, or even to run some PHP code, set various vriables etc without messing
up the theme header.html (and regardless of the theme being used).
$THEME->standardsheets
that a theme can use to control how much of the
standard theme is included before the actual current
theme sheets.
When true, use all subsheets from "standard"
When not existent, use all subsheets from "standard" (this is to help old
themes work better out of the box)
When false, don't use standard at all
When an array of filenames, only use those (in that order).
