What happened to the themes from previous years?
Starting with Moodle 2.8, many of the old themes have been deprecated. Most of these themes were based on older web technologies and do not conform to modern web standards. Often, they did not behave as expected and are difficult to use on smaller screens (e.g. phones and tablets).
Going forward we will focus on providing high quality, responsive themes that work well on a variety of screen sizes.
