Hi, Im testing out the omega framework and I like it very much so far! I'm fairly new to drupal and I was wondering how list all content on my frontpage in a 3 column layout, like a newspaper layout.
| column1 | column2 | column3 |
| column1 | column2 | column3 |
| column1 | column2 | column3 |
Now my content is listed in one pane, I want it split i 3 columns.
Do I need to use panels to solve this, or can it be achieved with omega theme, delta and views modules?
Regards

CSS3
It can be done with CSS3: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol that is if you would want the text to flow from one column in the other. For static - not connected - columns it can be done with Omega ofc.

I'll check it out. I was testing out views and created a new frontpage view, trimmed the length of the body text of each article and set a fixed height on the containing div and floated them. That seemed to work out for what I wanted.
Btw, how do I do that from the omega theme settings? Split the content block into static, not connected columns, I mean.
Simplest would be to devide
Simplest would be to devide Sidebar First, Content and Sidebar Second into even width, so when you use a 12-grid, set them to 4-4-4. Now you can add your (text) blocks to each of them. If you would want to use the sidebar regions on top of a content zone that is split in three you would have to add extra zones manually. For Omega 2 check: http://omega.developmentgeeks.com/documentation. For Omega 3 similar method can be used, but documentation is not yet available.
