Google-styled theme for Bootstrap.

Table of contents

Overview

This is a Google-styled theme for Bootstrap. Because I'm a fan of the new Google UI seen in Gmail, Docs, Calendar, etc, I decided to reproduce the look of these new UI elements for my own personal use. The project's goal isn't UI parity with Google Apps -- it's feature parity with Bootstrap, themed with Google's UI in mind.

TODC Bootstrap was created by Tim O'Donnell, and maintained with the support and involvement of the community.

Quick start

Three quick start options are available:

Read the Getting started page for information on the framework contents, templates and examples, and more.

Compatibility

This is being tested in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and IE8+.

The following projects are specifically designed for use with todc-bootstrap:

Requirements

  • LESS - for compiling .less files into CSS
  • Bootstrap - this will be automatically checked out, if necessary, during the build process

Documentation

TODC Bootstrap's documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with Jekyll and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at http://todc.github.io/todc-bootstrap/. The docs may also be run locally.

Running documentation locally

  1. If necessary, install Jekyll (requires v1.5.x).
  • Windows users: Read this unofficial guide to get Jekyll up and running without problems. We use Pygments for syntax highlighting, so make sure to read the sections on installing Python and Pygments.
  1. From the root /todc-bootstrap directory, run jekyll serve in the command line.
  2. Open http://localhost:9002 in your browser, and voilà.

Learn more about using Jekyll by reading its documentation.

Documentation for previous releases

Documentation for v2.3.2 has been made available for the time being at http://todc.github.io/todc-bootstrap/2.3.2/ while folks transition to TODC Bootstrap 3.

Previous releases and their documentation are also available for download.

Contributing

Moreover, if your pull request contains JavaScript patches or features, you must include relevant unit tests. All HTML and CSS should conform to the Code Guide, maintained by Mark Otto.

Editor preferences are available in the editor config for easy use in common text editors. Read more and download plugins at http://editorconfig.org.

Versioning

TODC Bootstrap will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<major>.<minor>.<patch>

The first set of <major>.<minor>.<patch> is the Bootstrap version while the second set is the todc-bootstrap version.

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

  • MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  • MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  • PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
