Background
I'm Marcin Czaja. RoseaThemes is where I bring together the two parts of my work: designing interfaces and writing the code that makes them work.
I found my way into Moodle almost by accident. I was working on websites, and building themes started as something on the side. More people began using them, the projects grew, and eventually they became my full-time work.
I stayed because Moodle is an interesting design problem. A student needs to find an assignment. A teacher needs to organise a course. An admin needs to change a setting without spending the afternoon looking for it. Those are the kinds of details I like working on.
A lot of that work happens after release: fixing an awkward interaction, making keyboard navigation work properly, keeping pages fast. I want a theme to feel straightforward to use and still be straightforward to maintain a year later.
And the name? Rosea is Latin for “rose-colored.” I liked the optimism in it. The name stuck.
