The following error message appeared after a recent upgrade on one of our sites -
There are currently no style types available to add. You should enable a module that utilizes them, such as Panels.
This error message does not tell the user what a style type is, or why they might want to add it, or what good enabling Panels will do for the situation.
I suggest it be rewritten to alert the user (1) which module is raising the alert (2) what the purpose of enabling a module like Panels is (other than making the error message go away).
I don't understand the purpose of Stylizer myself, but I'd suggest wording along these lines as a starting point -
"Stylizer module cannot find any Style types to add; you may need to enable a module which provides Style types, such as Panels, before Stylizer module will be able to ... "
Disabling Stylizer seems to have worked for us (I have no idea how it got enabled).

mgiffordAny idea when the next stable release of ctools will be? I'd rather not run the -dev version on a production site.
Thanks Merlin!
