Omega - Responsive HTML5 Base Theme

The Omega Drupal 7 Base Theme is a highly configurable HTML5/960 grid base theme that is 100% configurable. Each zone (group of regions) can be configured for content first layouts (push/pull classes), hidden at any time and each region can be disabled, resized, and placed easily any way you see fit.

Omega allows for contextual layouts (different layouts/settings for various portions of a site) through integration with Delta and the Context module.

When also using the Omega Tools module, you can quickly generate a subtheme of Omega using Drush.

How can you help?

The Omega theme, as all contributed Drupal projects is based on time provided by the maintainers, and at times, this can be tough.

What people are saying about Omega...

“Jake's Omega theme crosses the great divide between designers and developers - offering flexibility and efficient builds. Jake is also an excellent presenter of his theme and would be a great addition to any Drupal presentation.”

Shelley Fajans, Founder & Creative Director, CharmLab LLC

I've recently started developing my own Drupal sites using Jake's Omega theme as the basis. It's a terrific framework with a load of powerful options, and a it's real pleasure to work with as a designer. Creating and customizing a sub-theme has been quick and easy for me... and I am relatively new to Drupal development. The exciting part is that I've been able to do so much with it already, and I've barely scratched the surface with all that's built into it. I strongly recommend trying it if you are a Drupal developer looking for a solid theme to build on.

Roger Goode, Graphic Designer, The Proper Pup Studio

#D8CX: I pledge that Omega will have a full Drupal 8 release on the day that Drupal 8 is released.
