Compose

One slide becomes a hero, two or more a slider.

Per slide: title, kicker, body, background image with overlay, text colour, alignment and five content positions, a primary and an optional secondary call to action, and entrance animations (fade, slide, zoom). Section heights from 50 to 100 vh; autoplay, arrows and indicators for sliders. Optional info panels with icon, title and link can overlap the bottom edge. Slides and panels can be limited to roles or cohorts.

A responsive grid of linked cards.

Basic, image and banner styles.

Collapsible content in three layouts.

Split (list with a changing illustration), stacked Bootstrap accordion, or vertical panels that expand on click. Per item: title, body, icon, colours, background image with overlay, an optional button and visibility for selected roles or cohorts.

A site footer without theme overrides.

Brand, address, free text, up to six social icons, partner logos, footnote and copyright bar. Up to three menu columns from the custom menu, Moodle’s core footer, recent or starred courses, the user menu or a static link list. Five layouts, background styles and eight top decorations.

A personal greeting that adapts to each learner’s situation.

One natural sentence instead of a stats dashboard: an opener by time of day in the user’s timezone, a middle part from the most notable signal — login streak, courses completed this month, activities completed this week or time since last login — and a matching closer. Without a signal, a seasonal message appears, hemisphere-aware by country. All texts are translatable; an optional custom message can be added below. The widget writes nothing to the database.

Modern clean.

Every widget follows the chosen style. Optionally the style is applied to the rest of Moodle, so Moodle’s own surfaces, cards and controls match.

Squared, rounded bars or none.

The shape the widgets draw their decoration from, independent of the style.

Your brand colours as swatches next to every colour picker.

Outfit, Space Grotesk and Space Mono included.

A WCAG badge wherever text sits on a colour.

The legibility target is WCAG AA (4.5:1, default) or AAA (7:1). The badge is advisory and never blocks saving; the editor can pick the most readable text colour for you.

An overlay control keeps text on images readable.

The editor suggests an overlay strong enough for the chosen text colour.

Keyboard navigation, ARIA roles and reduced motion.

Arrow keys cycle slides; autoplay pauses on hover, focus, off-screen and tab-away. With reduced motion, animations and autoplay stop.

Smart menus, static pages and footer suppression in the Compose footer.

With Union installed, a footer menu column can show a Union smart menu (with its access rules) or all enabled static pages, and the footer honours Union’s footer suppression settings. Without Union, these options simply do not appear.
