Wow, what a coincidence! I just created a very similar project <a href="http://www.lavishbootstrap.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lavishbootstrap.com/</a><p>How did you generate the different themes, and are they stored in different css/less files?
This is very very cool.<p>It'd be even cooler if users could customize the themes right on the site, but that's probably obvious and not easy to implement.
This is awesome. I presume this is targeted at Bootstrap 2.0. Correct?
One question I have is, how do you plan to deal with changing versions of Bootstrap. Just so I understand, are you recommending dropping the chosen variables.less along with bootstrap less files to compile it?<p>Thanks
My life keeps getting better. Thanks you, Thomas and Quan, both. I always leave the front-end work for last because design is ridiculously more difficult than coding. Guys like your are easing the anxiety I feel every time I start trying to figure out colors, fonts, layout, etc.
I love the concept - my only problem with it is that the six starter themes (swatches) featured on the site aren't really attractive enough, more like failed experiments... it could benefit from a design-off where popular designers create a swatch with their own take on the Bootstrap, and submit it to the site...<p>PS: Overheard on Twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/bcherry/status/169960949967626241" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/#!/bcherry/status/169960949967626241</a>):<p><i>New web dev trend: "Yo dawg I heard you like Bootstrap so I made bootstrap for your Bootstrap so you can bootstrap while you Bootstrap."</i>
This is great! One minor thing I noticed is that on the homepage, the bottom three swatches don't seem to link to individual files properly -- they all download the bootstrap.min.css, regardless of what you choose in the split button.
Thanks Thomas, this is great. Really wanted to customize bootstrap for a demo site for a project I'm working on and your Spacelab swatch is perfect, saved me loads of time. I'll drop you a mail for a peak when it's live, should be in the next week or so.
What would be awesome is a way to select all custom colors and build a unique bootstrap swatch right on the site with live preview, like <a href="http://bytefluent.com/vivify/" rel="nofollow">http://bytefluent.com/vivify/</a> does for VIM color schemes.
This is fantastic and just what bootstrap needs to stop people complaining about all the bootstrap sites looking the same.. I hope this stays on the frontpage a while so more people can find out and contribute..
More and more folks are realizing the power of Open Source - why limit it to functional code when we all need design just as much? This is a fantastic trend, and (I hope) just the beginning.
Isn't this almost the same as this?<p>wrapbootstrap.com/themes<p>which was featured a couple of days ago? Maybe you could submit your "swatches" as themes and earn a couple of bucks :)
Nice site. I bookmarked it but it would be cool to sign up for a email when there are new themes available. A very passive way to stay top of mind.<p>Thanks for creating this!
Just awesome, that's exactly what Bootstrap was missing! I hope your project will grow big, good luck!<p>P.S. That would be even cooler if there were more dark themes.
