This Wiki will serve as the main index for all 3.x documentation until further notice. Please contribute to the documentation and help us establish and maintain accuracy.

Omega 3.x is a collection of the latest and greatest in today's web design technologies and standards in a user friendly management interface. Start here to find out what technologies are included in the Omega framework. Learn about the framework and the various respective resources before diving in.
Learn about the starter kits available in Omega 3.x. Learn how to decide if you should go with the stripped down version of Alpha or the full blown version of Omega. Find out how to determine if you should use HTML5 or the more traditional XHTML for your project.
There are two methods of creating omega subthemes. Either via Drush (a module that takes advantage of the command line) or by copying an Omega starterkit and making a few minor edits.
Whether your site is browsed by a desktop user with a widescreen or an iPhone your Omega theme will recognize the screen size and load the appropriate css using media queries.
This Module integrates the Responsive Images library created by Filament Group. the purpose of this library is to load images in different sizes based upon the resolution of the browser loading the page. This allows for mobile-optimized images. This module provides integration with the library and a "Responsive Images" image field formatter where you can select both a small (mobile-optimized) image style as well as a large (for normal screens) image style. The image style configuration options are provided by Drupal core.

Which Omega is right for me?
