Panels is a module (http://drupal.org/project/panels) which allows for complex layouts and administration of content within these pages. New in Panels 3 is the ability for a theme to provide custom styles for panels and entire layouts. This new approach allows themers to define style options which are then easily selectable through the administration interface, allowing site editors to further customize pages.

This session is for:

• Themers who want to add Panels styles to their themes
• Those who are considering using Panels for their site but what to know more about what it can do and why
• Site administrators who want the ability to add sections/pages to their site and control their appearance through the Drupal interface

While we will definitely be showing some code in this session, you won't need to be a programmer in order to get a feel for the many different ways you can style Panels.

This session is being presented by the TopNotchThemes team who recently added Panels support to the 2.x branch of the Acquia Marina theme.
