My interface is shrinked 2 times because of 24 columns instead of default 12 used in other boostrap themes. Can you make 12 columns version in dist?

Ok, never mind. I have tried 12 columns. This theme is too raw (awry) and not usable. But still it is most beautiful of all metro themes... I ended up using https://github.com/cmsbots/bsflat.it instead.

I curious to understand, why did you choose to have 24 columns ?
Because it would be super great to be able to create a website with the default bootstrap theme, and just update the css with the winstrap one (without changing anything)... Because of the 24 columns, it's not possible to do that...

Hi @lgolven. When we first started to translate Microsoft design language for web, we anticipated that we would need more flexibility than what 12 columns could provide. After the project progressed, however, it turned out that there were very few cases where 24 columns were needed. You brought up a good point about aligning with Bootstrap and making Winstrap easier to adopt. We will consider changing it to 12 columns. Thanks for the feedback!
