Julian Ridden (@Moodleman) has just updated/released his new "Facebook" theme for Moodle which is based on the core Decaf theme by Lei Zhang.

Opinion – #Facebook, Teachbook and Teacher Collaboration
You might have heard of Teachbook. It's the website getting sued by social networking behemoth, Facebook for infringing on the use of the "book" brand that Facebook has ever so diligently built (note sarcasm).
