Hi All,
I am pretty new to Omega theme. I have worked with other themes earlier. I have an HTML design (with CSS). How do I convert that to Omega sub-theme?
Overriding page.tpl, makes the theme non-resposive!
Regards
Sanjay

Did you read the manual?
Did you already read the manual? You can find it at: http://drupal.org/node/819164
You should create an Omega subtheme first. Then use the available template to rebuild your design. Though it is possible to use the available HTML design, it is much easier to leave that as is and start from scratch.
Recognize the main regions in your design and find a replacement region in your subtheme. You can change and rearrange the way the regions are rendered through the Omega UI.
It should not be necessary to touch the page.tpl.php.
Thanks!
Hi Argus,
Thanks for your response. Its really helpful!
I did read the manual and it was a bit overwhelming! and went in the wrong direction of changing the page.tpl.php.
But now I see that designing Omega subtheme should not be influenced by existing HTML, but to be done independently.
Thanks again!
Sanjay
