Theme change as otherwise font icons will not work. Any

Theme built on this will need to include all CSS and possibly overwrite a number of mustache templates and renderers (as these have been built with Bootstrap 3 in mind).

Legacy

Legacy is a basic Theme that includes styling for all non-Tui core functionality. It has minimal colours and includes Bootstrap 3 CSS along with

SCSS files for all components. All core functionality is designed to work with this Theme.
For Totara 13-18, this is the best theme to base custom Themes off.

Like Ventura, Inspire is built off Legacy, but includes a number of UI improvements such as a new primary navigation.
For Totara 19+, this is the best Theme to base custom Themes off.
Deprecated/removed Themes

Themes as technologies change and improve. It is possible to continue to use these

Themes after they have been removed by keeping the files in the

Theme directory, however they will be unsupported and are highly likely to have issues.
