Winstrap support for IE8

I was looking at the winstrap site on ie8 and things don't look right. Stuff is broken. Colours and backgrounds are off, among other things.

Is there a shim or build step or something that I need to add to my site to make these things ie8 friendly? A few examples of things that I've seen in the css would be the usage of rgba() which isn't supported by ie8 and is ignored, or the use of before:: instead of before: with one : will break glyphs.

  • add Autoprefixer to the build step
  • Not embedding the Unicode characters directly, instead using the codepoint.
  • Use 1 double colon instead of 2 in ::before and ::after et al
  • Add hex fallbacks to rgba()

Hi @lawrencecushman!

IE8 is no longer supported by Microsoft and not supported by Bootstrap.

IE8 is still supported by Bootstrap v3 which is the version you are using, Bootstrap v4 only supports IE 10+.

It looks like even in v3 IE8 has a lot of gotchas.
Microsoft's support level takes priority on the project and we don't support IE8.
