Creating an Omega 3.x Subtheme

Hopefully this is an error on my part and not the tutorial above but i have followed it 3 or 4 times and I am still having the same issues.

The sub-theme installs and works perfectly when not logged in and resizes as its meant to do. It also shows up in the appearance section of the admin so all working fine until I click on the settings link to manipulate some of the features of my new sub-theme and I get blank html page with a few links with no styling/css applied to it that does not let me do anything especially configuring the settings of my new sub-theme.

Any idea what im doing wrong or what the problem could be?

I have Drupal 7.2 installed and im using Omega 7.x-3.0-beta2.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Excellent presentation as always. Thank you for all your efforts. Omega totally rules.

Thanks a lot for this screencast Jake! It helped a lot!

I used omega_tools and used this tutorial from step "Renaming the appropriate responsive CSS files". Worked like a charm.

Looking forward to the next one!

We're currently experimenting with Omega + Context module for theming nodes based on content type. Not sure how that works yet, we used to be Panels guys :)

The theme is awesome Jake. And thanks for the presentation. I'm really looking forward to the next one. I need a strategy for working with the responsive theme files and help making sense of starterkit-xxx-alpha-default.css, starterkit-xxx-alpha-default-normal.css, etc.

This is going to be HUGE in Drupal development. Great work!

Great demo, reminds me of the CoD after Black Ops mods. Totally cool!

Great theme, looks like Black Ops mods at CoD after modding. Totally cool!

Hi All,

I have no idea if this is the best place to post question, but I'm not finding the kind of information I need anywhere... Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place. (I am relatively new to Drupal and Drupal theming)

Anyhoo... I've been playing around with Omega3 for a while. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to accomplish putting a shadow to make the design look like a cohesive "page." See here: http://faculty.unlv.edu/jbrown/prototype.jpg

I tried putting all the regions in one zone, and putting a shadow around the zone. That worked with limited success.

Is is possible to put this design(http://faculty.unlv.edu/jbrown/prototype.jpg) in the Omega responsive grid? What would be a best practice?

This is a quick fix way of doing it:
#page {
margin: 30px;
box-shadow: 0 0 20px #ccc;
}

It forces you to lose a bit of screen real estate on all edges by forcing a margin around every side, but it sounds like essentially that's what you want.
You could add this css to the global.css, but I'd recommend adding it only to the narrow, normal, and wide CSS so that the precious mobile space isn't wasted by the extra margin.

Also here's a solution to get IE7 & 8 to render the CSS3 box-shadow style: http://css3pie.com/

Good luck!

This is an incredible theme and the development thought behind it is very forward-thinking.

I had a quick question- I was wondering if there will be a function built in where by a developer can duplicate a zone using Delta and Context.

As I am learning to use this responsive theme to build subthemes- the thought occured that it would be nice to be able to have more flexibility if the developer could "clone" a zone within Delta -section- zone- region process.

Do you think this could be a simple feature to add to the development? I thought it might make Omega and Delta even more flexible without having to hack code to duplicate are zone within Delta for more layout control-

What are your thoughts on this being a feature- and sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

Thanks
Aaron

when will the lesson two customize CSS in omega x3 come out ? thanks David
