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.
