Sustainable Theming with Fusion

Target Skill Level: 
Intermediate

Fusion is a powerful and supported base theme, with layout and style configuration options built in that you (or your clients) can control through Drupal's UI. The combination of the Fusion base theme and the Skinr module help create themes that are flexible, scalable, and overall sustainable.

Theming with Fusion means less time working on problems that others have already solved. Fusion is the very best of friends with Drupal's output, including theming for popular modules like Views and Imagefield, and lots of commented starter CSS for Ubercart.

The session will cover the basics of Fusion from a themer's point of view, and how it makes themes more sustainable and makes your work flow more efficient. Also in the discussion will be the pros and cons of using Fusion, and how to use the collapsible regions and theme settings to set up the layout you need, and how to approach creating more sustainable CSS styles in a theme.
