As a reference, most Vanilla themes don't include a control panel, or admin user interface. Customising them requires modifying the files directly, as @peregrine indicated through the links.

I usually start developing all my themes with it, but I'd suggest you package it as a real theme once you're finished.

The Bootstrap theme is not officially supported on this forum, only on GitHub.

AfaIk, modifying Bootstrap is a different procedure to modifying 'standard' Vanilla themes.

Have you read the 'readme' file that came with the theme? Have you installed Node.js as per the instructions?
