Keyboard shortcuts and in-page sections

Space 5.0.9Moodle Theme

The sidebar stays on the left.

I started Space in 2018 and never switched the layout. Universities still run large catalogues from it. In 2026 I put it on the same core as Alpha and XY.

  • 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 24, 2026 Updated: September 24, 2026 What's new

I started Space in 2018. It was the first Moodle theme I released, and the left sidebar has been part of it from the beginning. Move between a course, the calendar, or a profile, and the navigation stays in the same place beside the page.

In 2026 I moved Space onto the shared RoseaThemes Core. That brought in the Front Page Builder, Menu Builder, and the rest of the newer tools, without changing the navigation model that defines Space.

Space now shares its core with Alpha and XY. Same builders underneath. Different navigation. Space keeps the sidebar on the left.

The sidebar stays on the left.

Leave the dashboard for a course, the calendar, or a profile, and the menu is still beside the page. Space has used this layout since 2018.

Interface

Dashboard, courses, enrollment, profile, and login keep the same Space screens. The sidebar stays on the left.

Built on the RoseaThemes core

In 2026 I moved Space onto the same Bootstrap 5 core as Alpha and XY. The admin tools are shared between them, but the interface is not. Space keeps its persistent sidebar and visual direction 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 Space layout in dark mode and with right-to-left languages.

Rosea plugins included with Space

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

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 Space 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

Space 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 Space controls the markup.

  • WCAG 2.1

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