What is Delta?
UPDATE: The Delta module was originally created (2.x) to compliment the powerful Omega base theme, but now works with ANY theme (3.x)!!!!
Current sites using Delta 2.x with Omega 2.x can upgrade to Delta 3.x in the beta1 version. This has been tested, but it always recommended to backup your database/files BEFORE updating modules. This does need more testing, but should work well at this point with the beta 3.x release.
Delta allows you, via the Context module to make duplicates of your theme settings for any context on your site. This gives you the ability for alternative layouts as a reaction in Context... </awesomesauce>
