Hi guys,

I've got a problem that's been bothering me a few months now. After lots of searching I'm still yet to find an answer to how to tackle this.
I'm currently using Delta to define the majority of different templates on a project, and for the most it's working perfectly.

However, I have a couple of much more complicated page templates, that need to use Panels and it's ability to pass context from the URL to a block, which has meant needing to use Panels and Delta together.

My default Delta template has a basic right hand sidebar and content area. When I start using panels its added into the content area as you'd expect. I've tried using various panels templates, including the Omega ones, the problem is they seem to conflict with the padding, margins and linespacing set within the Omega grid framework. The easiest way to explain it, is it's like I have a grid within a grid, so all the spacing gets messed up.

On another attempt I created a completely blank Delta template, but without a content area the panel doesn't show (obviously), and with the content area I get the same problem, but just without the sidebar.

I'm probably missing something very obvious. I've read a lot of posts on creating your own panels templates that work with omega, but none seem to address this issue.
Are there any best practice guides of using Panels with Delta to avoid this.

I'm now starting to look at Omega 4 in a bit more detail, as the panels integration seems to be baked into the layouts from the start.

Thanks in advance
