Shine Your Boots! Customizing Twitter Bootstrap
April 11, 2012 by Aaron Baluczynski
By now you’ve come to groan at the discovery of yet another website in familiar Bootstrap dress, nary a customization. It’s on every new hobby site, side gig, open source project and startup. (There’s a new one daily!)
This excellent framework unquestionably speeds development (we love it), yet what was once beautifully fresh, has become stale in our jaded eyes.
Lucky for us, there’s help:
Themes
- Bootswatch – a gallery of free Bootstrap swatches.
- {wrap}bootstrap – buy and sell custom Bootstrap themes.
- Lavish – upload a photo to generate a theme. Endless fun.
- StyleBootstrap.info – color pickers for every last UI element.
- BootTheme - interactive theming tool
- Beautiful Buttons forTwitter Bootstrappers – easily customize button colors.
- Kickstrap – Bootstrap with “themes, enhancements, and other goodies.”
- Fuzzy – coming soon.
Design & Wireframing
- UI elements for Photoshop - Bootstrap PSD and another Bootstrap toolkit.
- UI elements for Fireworks – Bootstrap Fireworks and wireframing assets for Fireworks.
- Bootstrap 2 icon set as a font.
Miscellaneous
- Bootstrap for Query UI.
- Bootstrap Image Gallery.
- Bootstrap theme for the rich-text editor wysihtml5.
- Roots Theme – Bootstrap for WordPress.
- Countless other WordPress themes.
- Colorpicker and datepicker for Bootstrap.
- Fbootstrapp – for Facebook apps.
