That's exactly what I'm like... and for the same reason I think bootstrap is a science-send. It raises the lowest common denominator to something almost respectable.
As someone pointed out above, making use of 'less' allows you to rapidly test different color schemes... thereby controlling potential tackiness.
- pamelafox 15y agoSo, unfortunately, I made the decision to use Sass/Compass for my CSS before I started using Bootstrap, and when I saw that they used Less I considered switching over, but it doesn't have as many features as Compass - like icon spriting. I could complement Less with other tools but I decided to stick with Compass for now. It's actually still pretty straightforward to customize the color schemes without the Less variables. (Pro tip: I often look at Bootstrap's uncompressed Less CSS to figure out how to customize in the simplest way.)
