We recommend you download and install the following modules in order to make the most of your Omega based theme. More on installing modules.

Make sure you are running the latest stable releases of all modules to ensure proper functionality. If you are using dev releases of any of these modules use the dev release for all in order to maintain compatibility.

  • Omega Tools

    (requires Ctools) - Omega Tools is a great set of functionality that will help you to easily create and manage your Omega subtheme. This tool is useful in development but should probably be disabled in production environments. Note: do not use this with Omega 4.x.

  • Delta

    Delta is a powerful tool that allows you to create variations of a theme's settings without having to create a new subtheme. When used with Context, Delta allows you to edit the omega grid, zone, and region settings and create all new layouts based on the various conditions available in Context. Note: do not use this with Omega 4.x.

  • Context

    (requires Ctools) - Context allows you to manage contextual conditions and reactions for different portions of your site. You can think of each context as representing a "segment" of your site. For each context, you can choose the conditions that trigger this context to be active and choose different aspects of Drupal that should react to this active context, in that "segment".

    Think of conditions as a set of rules that are checked during page load to see what context is active. Any reactions that are associated with active contexts are then fired.

  • Ctools

    A set of API’s that are required by many modules within Drupal. Chances are you already have Ctools enabled for other modules.
