Custom theme development from scratch in moodle 2.7 - moodle

I am working in a project to create a Moodle 2.7 from scratch. I have done few theme customizations for Moodle 2.6 but I can't find any reference for Moodle 2.7. Any suggestions are welcome.

There is no difference between creating a theme for moodle 2.6 and moodle 2.7.
In moodle 2.7, the way of creating theme is same as it was earlier.
You may already knew this, For Creating moodle theme
Before moodle 2.7 there is a standard theme in moodle is called 'standard', and in latest moodle 2.7, the standard 'theme' is called 'clean' which is based on bootstrap.
There is a difference between creating a moodle's simple and bootstrap theme, because:-
In simple theme you can get the layout file like "frontpage.php", "general.php" etc and
In bootstrap theme you can get the layout file like "columns1.php", "columns2.php", "columns3.php" etc.
But version makes no difference, you can choose a way to make a theme for moodle 2.7 as you have chosen for moodle 2.6.

Moodle 4.0 problems with Moove 3.11.05 theme (the site is not showing breadcrumbs)

Basically I've installed the Moove 3.11.05 theme and everything seems to work except the breadcrumbs. I've done the research and didn't find any solution. Has someone else encountered this problem and how can it be fixed?
Moove for Moodle 4.0 is already available. You can donwnload it from its page: https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_moove/versions
There are significant changes to the user interface in Moodle 4.0 - many of which will require changes to any custom / third-party theme.
If you want to use any such themes with Moodle 4.0, then the best advice would be to hold off upgrading until the maintainer of that theme has released a Moodle 4.0 version.
In the meantime, you may find some useful information at: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_4.0_developer_update

tinymce textcolor plugin does't work on rails 3.x

I'm attempting to run TinyMCE on rails with the standard setup (no gems). In my init method I am loading a bunch of plugins. They all appear to be working except the textcolor plugins. I cannot seem to find any info indicating this is a bug. No buttons even show up on the menu. Has anyone attempted to use tiny4.0.2 with the textcolor plugin and had success? Thanks.
Version 4 has made API changes, most plugins are still for version 3.x only. Try the third party plugin section on tinyMCE's forum - I know of a truecolor picker-plugin recently made for tinymce4.

How to Enhance social office theme for Liferay

I would like to enhance the social office theme for liferay : so-theme.
I tried to create a new theme with the liferay IDE but the default theme is still used.
Has anyone modified the social office theme?
Thanks a lot for yours answers
Ok, I found the answer on the liferay forum, answer from Liferay staff:
Unfortunately, changing so-theme is the only way to do it. We locked down the ability to deploy a theme because the majority of (most likely all) of the portal themes would be incompatible with the way we do a few things in SO.
Suggestion in the same forum post by Liferay Staff:
My suggestion for now would be to add another "include" line in the main.css at the very end and keep your changes there. I think this will make maintainability easier for you until we find a permanent solution for theming Social Office.
So it's not possible to create a new liferay theme based on so-theme. The only way is to directly modify the deploy theme.

creating components

I'm learning to create joomla components so is there any difference between joomla2.5 and joomla1.5 for creating components and modules as on the joomla official site documentation is about joomla1.5.
http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!2.5_-_Part_01
You can find the tutorial of developing module in Joomla 2.5.
Yes, there are quite big differences.
First of all the install manifest has changed between 1.5 and 2.5, which means that components developed for 1.5 won't install on J2.5.
Secondly many Joomla classes has changed and some conventions are replaced by others. Check the Joomla API for the differences.
