OpenG - Drupal Theming Simplicity
OpenG (Open Grid) is a Drupal base or starter theme that serves as Lego for your creativity. The grid based theme, loads content first and allows designers to easily configure a layout based on either a fixed 960px or liquid grid divided into 12, 16 or 24 columns. Easily manipulate the layout via the browser to match the design and configure the grid through the theme settings page without touching code.
