Business. Omega. Omega 4 Who is it for?

Omega

Omega 4.x is a base theme framework aimed at themers who want to gain full control over the theme through code, rather than a user interface. If you depend on the user interface you can continue using Omega 3.x. What are the features? Omega 4.x contains a rewrite (cleanup) of all of core’s CSS and many optimizations to the markup generated by core. Omega 4.x should NOT be used with Omega Tools and Delta Omega 3 Omega 3 is a highly configurable HTML5/960 grid base theme. Omega 3 is best suited to those who like to build their themes through the user interface.

Thanks to Jake Strawn (himerus) for all the work put into the 3.x branch of Omega. Omega 3 should be used together with Omega Tools version 7.x-3.x Omega 3 is currently being minimally maintained (security fixes only). Documentation & Support Tutorials and screencasts on YouTube Handbook Documentation for both versions of Omega can be found in the Omega Documentation Handbook.

Zen

If you are building your own standards-compliant theme, you will find it much easier to start with Zen than to start with Garland or Stark. This theme has fantastic online documentation and tons of helpful code comments in its PHP, HTML, CSS and Sass. At many points in my Drupal career I’ve loved, leaned on & learned from the Zen theme. Version 5 takes that to a whole new level. - Jen Simmons The theme “Zen” turned out to be the public favorite and won the “Best Drupal Theme” title. - Award announcement for the Drupal Hall of Fame Award by Packt Publishing Zen now comes in two flavors! Documentation The Zen theme is wonderfully documented. Drupal.org/documentation/theme/zen 7.x-5.x features at a glance: Note: There seems to be a conflict between some host installations of the SiteZen site builder and the Zen directory name which causes broken tabs, css files to be "not found", and other issues.
