But the Hide Block Option can sometimes be a disadvantage too! If the user unknowingly clicks the Hide Block button, the main menu goes hidden. As the main menu lies pretty down the page, the user might not be aware that it is hidden! Also, the user has to scroll down every time to look for most required information such as Login, Site News and other links. Though Marble – the moodle premium theme looks awesome, there is no jQuery counter and has minimized header options.
