Subtheming a Subtheme of Omega - stylesheets not inheriting [#1301464]

I am having trouble with subtheming a subtheme of Omega. We are trying to create our own base theme for other subthemes to be built from. The "base theme" is a subtheme of Omega.

The issue I am having is inheriting stylesheets from the base theme. The stylesheets used in the base theme are the ones provided after I created the subtheme using drush (global.css, basetheme-alpha-default-narrow.css, basetheme-alpha-default-normal.css, basetheme-alpha-default-wide.css, basetheme-alpha-default.css).

When I created a subtheme of basetheme, I made a copy of basetheme.info, renamed it, changed name, description, base theme, and project. I also added a stylesheet (style.css).

With this information, can anyone point me in the right direction about why my stylesheets from basetheme aren't being inherited?

Thanks!

Disclaimer: I've just started using Omega.

Not sure if I understand what you did here, because I figured you would just create another subtheme with Drush, rather than copy one you created. I would try that first.

Regardless, my current understanding is that the theme uses global.css in lieu of style.css. Across the top it says /* This file will hold the main styles for your website. */.

Try putting the contents of your style.css into global.css and see if that works. Also, mind the names for the other stylesheets. If your theme is called Awesome, then those other stylesheets should be named after them by default (ex. awesome-alpha-default-normal.css).
