Hello,

Like many others, I am brand new to the Omega theme, and theming in general, so I beg for your patience.

I am trying to figure out a way to "merge" the branding region and the menu region. My end goal is to have a single row with a logo and the menu. Is there any easy way to do after creating a child theme?

Thanks,
Cesar

A good example (sorta) of what I want to do is on MacLife.com, but instead of the search and login, I want the menu. Though if you know a easy way to do the same as MacLife, I'll take that too.

Disable the logo, main menu, etc. on your theme settings. Its much more flexible to use blocks instead. In any case I find the $main_menu and $secondary_menu are stupid and useless and menus should be in blocks in any case. Install the Delta blocks module place the menu in the branding region, place the branding block in the branding region... position them with css => done.

Do you have a link to the Delta blocks module? I'm trying to search for it on the drupal site, but got nothin.

Delta Blocks are included with Delta module

Once you have the delta module installed and enabled, just go to config/user-interface/delta-blocks and you can toggle on/off which Delta blocks you want to use.

The link to the Delta module is: http://drupal.org/project/delta

Sorry for dumb question here

Sorry for dumb question here but I've been trying to make my branding region inline for the last 3-4 days unsuccessfully.

1) How can this be done?

I have installed the Delta module. I put menu and branding block in the Branding region. How do I now make these blocks show up inline?

I tried '

<

div style='inline'> and many other variations but haven't gotten anything to work.

2) Does a site have to have a page.tpl.php? I have only run into html.tpl.php and I'm unable to find this search block that is staring at my face. I don't know where it is coming from so I can't make it inline with my logo.

Inline is tricky

Whether or not the inline style will work depends on the positional styling do the elements around it. For example, are any old the blocks set to float? Do you have a link to your dev site we could look at? That would save a lot of time. I spend hours fixing this problem for elements with absolute and relative positioning, and dropdown menus tend to be positioned that way.
