Popular Drupal Omega Sub-Themes

Omega Theme

Omega is a great example of a theme framework for Drupal. We’ve previously covered Omega in a detailed tutorial which explains how to get started.

Omega is perhaps the most popular framework currently. It was the first mobile-first, responsive base theme to date, paving new ground in the Drupal community. It was powered by a modified 960 grid implementation. This is the theme used by Acquia.com and several other major players.

However, using Omega is not easy for beginners. If you install Omega and make it into your default theme, this is what you’ll see:

To quickly appreciate the power of Omega, you need to install a sub-theme. In this tutorial we’re going to show you some of the most popular examples. To actually get set up with Omega intially, please remember to read this tutorial first.
