1. Copy “options.php” from the Options Check theme into your own theme.
2. Edit the array in “options.php” to define the options you want to use.
3. Add the following function to your theme so it will use default settings even if the Options Framework plugin is not installed:

/*
* Helper function to return the theme option value. If no value has been saved, it returns $default.
* Needed because options are saved as serialized strings.
*
* This code allows the theme to work without errors if the Options Framework plugin has been disabled.

Sass/SCSS

• Sass for Wordpress - 9 months ago

• SASS for WordPress

    }  
}  
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'generate_css' );  

• wp-sass - This plugin allows you to write and edit .sass and .scss files directly and have WordPress do the job of compiling and caching the resulting CSS. It eliminates the extra step of having to compile the files into CSS yourself before deploying them.
  • uses phpsass

install;

git clone git://github.com/sanchothefat/wp-sass.git wp-sass
git submodule update --init --recursive

functions.php:

<?php

// Include the class (unless you are using the script as a plugin)
require_once( 'wp-sass/wp-sass.php' );

// enqueue a .scss style sheet
if ( ! is_admin() )
   wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.scss' );
else
   wp_enqueue_style( 'admin', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/admin.sass.php' );

// you can also use .scss files as mce editor style sheets
add_editor_style( 'editor-style.scss' );

?>

You can also create .sass.php or .scss.php files that will be preprocessed in the WordPress context. What this means is that you can use WordPress functions within the stylesheets themselves eg:

$red: <?php echo get_option( 'redcolour', '#c00' ); ?>;

body {
  background: $red;
