Themes

Sasson

• http://drupal.org/project/sasson - HTML5, responsive (content first), semantic grid (SASS/SCSS), CSS reset (normalize)

Currently uses this phamlp fork which bundles Compass. This might change if Sasson switches to this fork.

drush sns [name] - generate a subtheme. ff does this auto if theme is sasson.

sasson.info calls

• sasson/styles/boilerplate.css - h5bp.com/css
• sasson/styles/sasson.scss (.info call is to the processed .css, natch)
  • @imports "css3", "960/grid", @import "base";
  • https://github.com/nextmat/compass-960-plugin/blob/master/stylesheets/960/_grid.sass

Notes

• sasson/styles/layout/desktop-first/sasson-base.scss sets .page as 960px. for a 100% wrapper, add a div in subtheme/templates/page.tpl.php

Grid

• compass-960-plugin - grid system used
  • https://github.com/nextmat/compass-960-plugin/blob/master/stylesheets/960/_grid.sass
  • Mastering the 960 Grid System

@import "css3";
@import "960/grid";
@import "base";

$ninesixty-columns: 16;

@include grid(8); - declare an 8 column wide element
@include grid-prefix(2); - add an empty 2-wide element before
