yes please! It's so good to modify and adapt bootstrap on your website and read good styled css!

This is a great idea - lots of sites can make great use of Bootstrap and having ways to reskin it easily greatly increases the available looks and feels.

Something I'd personally pay for is an in-depth guide for how to go about reskinning Bootstrap myself, as my current approach is just to add one-off styles as needed or customize a few of the Sass variables but nothing fancier.

Awesome! Soon all our sites will look like bootstrap but now with a variety of different colors. THANKS!! CSS is so hard.

It'd be great to see this work with Bootstrap.

Thanks! We definitely plan on adding this stuff. I'd love to be able to help people easily get past the "default bootstrap" look and have some really great looking sites.

This is great! I was actually starting to build a similar tool to customize bootstrap styles, but I think I'll just start to use this one :) Good work.

If it's public-facing and uses Bootstrap we'll definitely consider it!

Hoping to try it out, I'm mocking up a website with Bootstrap and changing themes a bit and doing it visually sounds interesting.

actually yes, that would be really good. I've wondered about using Bootstrap and how much work is involved to turn it into something useful. I currently am using a Wordpress template for a website with a blog attached, but it still feels very much like a Blog, rather than a website, and I feel Bootstrap may be an easy way to alter the Look and Feel.

It's really nice, but is there something this pretty for bootstrap?

I literally manage something like 10 different products/websites. And the only way to stay sane and have some pace with features is to use bootstrap for all of them (we currently use bootstrap for maybe 5 of them, and the rest were inherited sites that we're migrating).

I love the look of this but don't have the time or the will to migrate all our sites to learn yet another CSS meta-language with its own sets of concepts and classes.

Awesome, thanks! I will do so :) (I'm currently in the process of ripping Bootstrap out of an app for performance reasons and styling flexibility -- flexbox)

swat535 | karma 2263 | avg karma 4.23 · | 2013-04-26 19:48:30+00:00

This is really great, can you make the same thing for bootstrap?

wickchuck | karma 64 | avg karma 1.6 · | 2012-02-09 00:19:12+00:00

I'm about half way through the new tutorial, and I started using bootstrap already. This would be a welcome addition!

jsavimbi | karma 2299 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2012-02-15 10:19:11

That's really nice, thank you. All I did was download the file and replaced my existing bootstrap.min.css with it and it works great.

chefsurfing | karma 111 | avg karma 1.28 · | 2012-01-08 12:18:45

Hi Chris, do you think you could extract and share your knowledge and stylesheets the way that FB Bootstrap does?

akdetrick | karma 235 | avg karma 5.22 · | 2012-06-27 15:54:39+00:00

This is a great idea; an idea good enough to invest the time to create your own design and CSS instead of using bootstrap out of the box. One step at a time, I guess.

With that said, I hope this takes off and evolves into something big!

I was about to ask if they were in the w3c. As much as I like some of bootstrap aesthetics and structure, I wouldn't want to let the default html css go.

est | karma 8357 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2012-12-04 08:56:31+00:00

I'd hope there's open source effort based on bootstrap, with actual human maintainable css/js code generator.

hartator | karma 6634 | avg karma 2.18 · | 2016-12-20 23:13:30+00:00

Don't forget Bootstrap CSS.

bolololo1 | karma -9 | avg karma -0.24 · | 2017-08-04 09:01:40+00:00

give us something - I still use bootstrap :)
