Alpha 5.0.7Moodle Theme

Classic Moodle, or an icon rail.

I released Alpha in 2019 with a floating sidebar.

In 2026 I replaced it with two layouts and moved Alpha onto the shared RoseaThemes Core.

Same builders. Different navigation.

  • Platform Moodle The package includes a Moodle 4.5 LTS version. It is a legacy release from before v5, so the look differs from the current theme. General support ended on 6 October 2025. Security support ends on 4 October 2027. Moodle releases (opens in a new tab), 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 LTS
  • Payment One-time payment, lifetime access
Release: September 17, 2026 Updated: September 17, 2026 What's new

I released Alpha in 2019, after Space, with a floating sidebar that sat detached from the page. In 2026 I found a cleaner way to build the interface.

Alpha 5 now has two layouts: classic Moodle navigation, or a sidebar that collapses to icons. Dashboard, courses, calendar, and enrollment stay in the same Alpha screens either way.

Alpha belongs with Space and XY. Same builders. Different navigation. This one lets you pick classic Moodle or an icon rail.

Classic Moodle, or an icon rail.

The first Alpha used a floating sidebar. In 2026 I moved the navigation into the page: a familiar Moodle layout, or a rail that collapses to icons.

Interface

The dashboard, calendar, catalog, and enrollment page use the same Alpha screens in both layouts.

Built on the RoseaThemes core

In 2026 I moved Alpha onto the same Bootstrap 5 core as Space and XY. The admin tools are shared between them, but the interface is not. Alpha keeps classic Moodle navigation or an icon rail while using the same builders, settings, and maintenance tools underneath.

  • Settings import / export

    Move a finished configuration between staging, production, and other Moodle sites.

  • Front Page Builder

    Build the front page from hero, course, video, testimonial, and custom HTML sections.

  • Menu Builder

    Build and reorder navigation directly from the theme settings.

  • Live customizer

    Preview colours, typography, and layout changes before saving them.

  • Email branding

    Apply your logo, colours, and footer styling to Moodle notification emails.

  • Dark mode and RTL

    Use the same Alpha layout in dark mode and with right-to-left languages.

Rosea plugins included with Alpha

Regular, Commercial, Extended, and Ultra licenses purchased directly from RoseaThemes include three additional blocks styled to fit Alpha.

These plugins are included with Regular, Commercial, Extended, and Ultra licenses, but not Solo. They are supplied with purchases made through Lemon Squeezy or directly by invoice from RoseaThemes. MoodleMarket packages contain the Alpha theme only.

Other Rosea plugins

I also build smaller Moodle plugins for problems that sit outside the theme itself: custom pages, consent, alerts, search, and reporting.

  • Custom Alerts

    Publish site-wide or course-specific announcements without editing the theme.

  • Rosea Global Search

    Search courses, activities, and site content directly from the header.

  • Rosea User Stats

    Show learners their progress and learning statistics inside the profile area.

WCAG

Alpha adds skip links, keyboard-operable controls, focus styles, and ARIA wiring in templates controlled by the theme. Moodle Core, plugins, course content, and custom brand colors still require separate testing.

  • Meet WCAG

    Keyboard paths, semantics, and structure tested in theme-owned Moodle surfaces.

  • AA contrast

    Typography, controls, and UI spacing aimed at common AA contrast targets.

  • AAA-ready paths

    Skip links, focus rings, and high-contrast flows where Alpha controls the markup.

  • WCAG 2.1

    Theme improvements align with WCAG 2.1 success criteria on overridden templates.
