Omega Five is a complete rewrite of Omega that brings back (and vastly improves) the user-friendly layout interface that Omega 3.x was known for. But like 4.x it has significant Sass capabilities that allow for the implementation of popular front-end technologies.

Instead of Sass being handled via a Node or Ruby workflow as it was in 4.x, the processing into CSS is done in a simple manner via the theme settings and processed with PHPsass. A new custom SCSS grid system, Omega.gs, is also included, based on 960.gs, semantic.gs and some custom elements to provide a very simple method of creating SCSS layouts.

Discuss the drafting of this documentation at its issue.

Not really user-friendly so far. "Region Demonstration mode is on. This can be turned off in theme settings"... where!? I've spent 20 minutes trying to find this in the user interface. I googled it, but no obvious info. I guess I have to trawl the documentation. This is not a great start. Let's hope it isn't a headache for the rest!

Add a link to "Region Demonstration mode is on. This can be turned off in theme settings". Either a link to the documentation part explaining how to disable the demo, or link to the admin page where it can be disabled. Either will be a huge improvement. Thanks!

OK, so when you say 'theme settings' do you mean the theme settings file, or the theme settings in the theme admin panel via the UI?

Unintuitive, but found these settings:

block_demo_mode: 1
screen_demo_indicator: 1

They did nothing, even after a cache refresh. Badly named.
