Classy Panel Styles

CPS allows themers and designers to create a simplified pool of ready-made styles for site builders to choose from when laying out their pages. These translate directly to template and class changes in the DOM in a predictable way.

• Bridges the gap between styles applied to the site regions and styles applied to the content itself... where the "theme" ends and the WYSIWYG editor begins.
• Builds on the drag-and-drop content layout freedom that Panels provides.
• Allows editors to apply ready-made styles a themer has whipped up for them — without having to remember class names!

Quickstart

Enable the cps_example module (a sub-module of Classy Panel Styles) and visit the Content section of any Panels page. Change a pane's Style to Classy Panel Styles and choose some values. See the effects in real time!
