Quick topic summary: Moodle LMS is undergoing a significant visual design uplift, including enhancements to the Boost theme, the removal of the Classic theme, and the introduction of course linear navigation. These changes have meaningful implications for the community, particularly developers maintaining custom themes, course formats, and activity modules.
