CSS theme tool block
Under construction This page is currently under construction. It will shortly contain information about the CSS theme tool block created by Sam Hemelryk for Moodle 2.0.
Introducing the CSS theme tool
The CSS theme tool is a block that is designed to make CSS creation and editing for Moodle both easy and accessible.
It aims to provide a point and click interface with WYSIWYG controls for adding CSS rules and provides a user friendly interface for creating CSS that is suitable for everything from creating simple modifications to creating entire themes.
As well as giving the user an easy means to create CSS it also allows the admin or a Moodle site to make immediate modifications to the installations CSS that will be visible by everyone using the site (not just those who can create CSS) and does this all without the need for editing any files within Moodle or even having to create or modify themes.

- Unzip css_theme_tool.zip into your Moodle installations blocks directory.. moodle/blocks/
- Check that you now have moodle/blocks/css_theme_tool
- Open you browser and enter the URL to your site and login in an Administrator
- If you are not immediately shown the upgrade screen change the URL to your sites URL followed by /admin/ e.g. http://sam.moodle.local/admin/
- Proceed through the upgrade as you would any normal upgrade.
- Done!
The CSS theme tool adds two new database table to your database block_css_theme_tool and block_css_theme_tool_styles as well as adding one capability block/css_theme_tool:modifystyles.
Remember if you remove this block you can also remove those two database tables.
