Change color scheme of a particular Bootstrap theme.

ankgt · October 2014

Hi. I have installed the Bootstrap theme and am using the Cerulian style. I basically want to change the color scheme to use purple everywhere instead of blue.

I have a working knowledge of CSS but dont know LESS. I basically have identified all the places I need to change the color using firebug and and adding these overrides to custom.css in the design folder. However I notice that unless I add !important they dont take effect. I also noticed that in the custom.css is getting loaded before custom_cerulean.css. Is this why it is not working?

Also is this the best way to go about what I am trying to do? There are a LOT of overrides so I wanted to get some advice before I start doing this.

Thanks!

Welcome to the community.

While there are people who may try to help you, Bootstrap is not officially supported on this forum:

From the addon page

Bootstrap for Vanilla won't be supported through http://vanillaforums.org so please stick to using GitHub for inquiries about bugs and feature requests. Thanks!

Have a look at this thread, which may help you:

Thanks! Appreciate the help. I did notice the part about using GitHub but I thought it was only for bugs and feature requests.

It probably is. Just wanted to let you know that Kasper doesn't really get on here to answer those sort of questions.

Editing Bootstrap is, afaIk, quite a different process to editing standard Vanilla themes, which is why you may not get the level of help normally offered.
