   "that blue" is the default browser blue and if you check Facebook uses a different blue and doesn't use the default underline, neither does Google and neither does Github. They all changed the default. I'm not saying it's bad design. And i

   Don't feel stupid. Maybe I should have emphasized it.

   I'll keep that in mind. Didn't want it to sound like that. Unfortunately, the post arose from some frustration on my part. Thanks!

   The only way to do that is to use Boottheme. Boot theme does a great job because it gives you all the responsive views, and different layouts. You can also edit html on the site to see what it would look like.

   I'll mention it in the follow up post, I like it :)

   I used foundation before as well, liked it to an extent. Wasn't too happy with the buttons (how shallow of me :/). Otherwise, great platform.

   That. Bootstap's site doesn't look like the default. Especially with the inclusion of colored images, that banner now and several other elements that most "built with bootstrap" sites lack.

    Okay, okay, okay, i got it. Use boot theme. Press a die a bunch of times, wait until you find a color combo that doesn't look like ASS. Download. Saved you half the steps. The bootstrap customization page sucks. i don't really use it myself

    The submit button isn't the problem. Look at the default HTML styles. What sites out there still use that blue color for a link? It's one of the first things that gets redeclared in CSS. As far as the audience, yes, I was just messing aroun

    And this article suggest you spend 30 minutes on it. That's it. Nothing drastic.

    Thus the use of markdown became popular.

    Agreed. Look, I'm not saying do this for everything but if you want to stick with Bootstrap default or don't want to mess with the settings too much, or just aren't a front-end dev per se, at least use those techniques stated in the article

    Right right, check out boottheme and some of the other resources in the article! Boottheme shows you everything RIGHT THERE. You can even do a "dice roll" and have colors/settings scrambled to your liking. The scrambler actually works prett

    Thanks man :) I appreciate it.

    Hey man, I agree with you. I mean, I used that customized version of bootstrap (that lead me to write this article) to skin an app I was working on and I still hear praises on how awesome it is and how much better it looks than their prior

    I agree with you on the restaurant thing. There are god-awful sites out there that make bootstrap look like the holy grail of design deliciousness. I would, in those cases, prefer to see BS

    point taken and I whole-heartedly agree. But I wish the programmers could take that one extra step (those 10-30 extra minutes) and make it unique.

    by antjanus 14y ago

    Ha! I didn't know you guys wrote about it too. Your site was halfway an inspiration for me to use bootstrap (rather than try to do my own thing) and customize it beyond recognition!

    by antjanus 14y ago

    I definitely agree with your statement. That's why I said, I know why people use it. I'm so glad I don't have to spend an hour trying to come up with styles for a particular thing and have something built in. With that said, it's even nicer

    I have a sublime text 2 plugin that builds it with a keyboard shortcut. Same with SASS :)

    Oh I know. I'm on shared hosting, about to upgrade to a VPS. What you're experiencing now is only 400-500 people on there. I've had 5K come there just in the past hour. I'm surprised my hosting provider hasn't just...turned my site off.

    I really appreciate your comment. I'd upvote the hell out of it if I could.

    Yes, I also iterate in the article that it's quite fine to develop in bootstrap default theme; however, I would appreciate if they could at least download one of the free themes or use a SLIGHTLY modified version of it. Cool thing is, (and

    I'm bookmarking it and I'll feature it on my next post with the results from people :) thanks! honestly, the forms, tables etc. those styles are okay with me. It's just that toolbar and buttons that goes against grain for me.

    That's fine. I tend to get riled up about it because there's just no variety. I understand "standards" and "defaults" the way that the browser displays stuff but this is just a bit too much for my taste.
