Omega

I am currently working on a site which needs to run nicely on a multitude of platforms, devices and screen sizes.
I started off by reading up on responsive design which I have been interested in for a while. After building my own brew of CSS3 and XHTML using media queries I built myself a responsive Drupal theme based on Zen. Trying to build in some views which were displaying size dependent JQuery layouts it all started to get very messy. So I have now rebooted the project and after looking around decided to use a project I have looked at earlier, Omega.

Omega is maintained by the ebullient himerus and extremely helpful fubhy. I have gone through the extensive documentation, videos and examples which they and the drupal community have shared. It's is a fantastic theme which I am really enjoying coming to grips with. I do have a few problems, for instance I am not quite getting the relationship with Context. In fact myself and Dmitri amongst others, finds Context a little confusing.

Well I work with what I've got and I've got a small brain. To aid my remembering I wrote up this little legend of what exactly each of the style-sheets does. Writing it up has made it unnecessary for me. It is now in my head. Hopefully someone else will find it useful.
