Fluid or Liquid Layouts Possible

Actually, this IS something I plan to integrate the first second I get a chance. I mentioned it on my DrupalConSF presentation in my future plans list, and it's on the top of the list. A lot of people have hinted at this, and I agree it'd be very useful.

I have played with the fluid 960 grid before, and it works great... the only challenge to implement is I need to adjust things for the 12, 16, AND 24 column versions of omega 960 css.

I'm working and speaking at our DrupalCampNH this weekend, but will likely be able to start this shortly after the weekend is over.

I'm still working on this....

The fluid layouts for 12, 16, and 24 column layouts HAS been added to the Drupal 7 branch of the code.
The Drupal 6 version is going to have to take a different approach in order to accomplish the same task.

In Drupal 7, it's possible to just use hook_css_alter() to load a different CSS file (fluid in this case) if a theme setting is present to switch to the fluid layout. In D6, I'm going to have to move the 960.css file to the template.php and then include one or the other based on the theme setting rather than altering it.

I plan to get this in as soon as possible in the D6 branch still, so hold tight!!

Subscribing...

This has now been fixed in the Drupal 6 version of the Omega theme!!!
In the BETA9 release, you now have the ability to configure fixed (default) or fluid layout options for the grid.
A RTL version of the fluid css still needs to be done, but isn't instant priority. (I'd love a patch for that if someone has the time/need)

Marking this as closed as it was tested with several subthemes, both new, and existing, and works great...

For any issues with the fluid layouts, please open a new issue.
