Aliquam suscipit vehicula est, ut dapibus urna euismod eget. Nullam tristique non metus accumsan rhoncus. Etiam id euismod nisl. Nam consectetur blandit neque eget iaculis.

- inset

- shadow
- shadow2
- hot - adds the word hot to the .moduletable h3 span:after

The appearance module classes can be used in combination with each other to create more compel xmodule styles. To use multiple styles together please ensure that each module class suffix is separated by a space as per the following example. Also please note that there needs to be a space before the start of the first class in order to render the class output properly:
example class suffixprimary1 inset border
Font Icon Classes

Font Icon Module classes
Using a combination of module classes, it is possible to create a wide range of module styles using the font awesome font icons. The icons that are available for use are referenced from the font awesome font library, however you need to ensure that the template has included the Fotn Awesome Library in it's css file. This is done in the settings tab in the template settings and will be available after you enable the option, select all icons and then compile the less to css.
A typical module class suffix using the font icons looks like this:
example class suffixicon icon-comments large bottom secondary1
- zen-icon - initiates the font icon display
- zen-icon-comments - selects the icon to display. You can see a full list of icons available on the typography page.
- large - (optional) You can choose between tiny, medium or large which set the font-size of the icon as follows: 1em, 2em (default), 4em and 8em.
- bottom - (optional) Displays the icon at the bottom of the module. By default the icon is set to display at the top.
- secondary1 - as per the examples on this page this refers to the built in colour control in the template.
You can scroll down to the bottom of this page to see a very small selection of the styles in action.
