So I have an Omega subtheme that I want to use as the base for a bunch of small sites. So I want to subtheme it.

I copy it, change all the .info's to have the new name, change where the base theme is pointing, but despite what i've read in other threads, I don't get inherited global.css's. Just the most recent one (in the sub-subtheme), along with the sub-subtheme's response css files.

Can anyone clearly tell me how to subtheme an omega subtheme? (and I've already tried http://drupal.org/node/1447700, and like I said, despite the responses by #3, i don't get inherited global.css's).

Any updates on this? I'm not sure if I'm in the same category as the original poster, whom I suspect has a multi-site install, but I'm hoping to use a combination of themekey and sub-subtheming of omega to get different sections of the site to appear differently. I'd really like to avoid having to compose completely separate themes to accomplish relatively minor differences.

i think we're in similar boats, even though we have different setups. I ended up having to do completely separate themes, couldn't figure it out otherwise. you'd think a popular project like omega would have better docs!

I've had some success with this, actually. The majority of it came from the docs here. A couple gotchas in particular:

1. Created a stub template.php file. It was empty, but its presence caused the invocation of the original.
2. Copied both 'regions' and 'zones' information from my original .info file. These are not inherited. The latter is not mentioned in the link above.

I'm still having trouble with inheritance of the global.css stylesheet from the parent subtheme, or I'd have posted earlier. I can post more about what I did if this isn't sufficient...if you're still interested, that is.
