I'm trying to have a sidebar on some pages and full width content on other pages. I tried to create a sub theme of my current default and select it on the page I'm trying to provide the sidebar region but it didn't go through (it was a view page and the advanced->theme link is labeled "information" and whenever I try to change theme it is my default theme when I go back.)
My primary theme is an Omega subtheme with a full width content region. My second lists my primary as the base theme so that I can draw in all style work I've already done.
Am I using the wrong approach?

The Delta module
I haven't used omega in a while, but I used to use the Delta module to have different layouts on different pages.
Omega by default will stretch
Omega by default will stretch content to full width if there is nothing published to the sidebars, so normally you don't need more than your main theme to do what you've described (just put block content in the sidebars of some pages but not others).
Delta would only be needed if the underlying page structure needed to be different.
Resolved
Ok, it turns out that it was the debugging blocks that I had turned on that were forcing the columns to render and were messing up the content display. Disabling block debugging in the theme allowed the content area to grow as described above.
Thanks all.
