Re:Customize Twitter Bootstrap To Not Look Bootstrap-y

I feel like the tone of this post could have been less rage-filled and more informative. I also wasn't very impressed with the end result. It still looks extremely bootstrappy to me (not that I think that's a bad thing).

Wait, what do you mean by end result? There really wasn't one, I posted screenshots of the applications I used to adjust bootstrap.
And yeah, I tend to write "passionately". I basically wrote this up after seeing five or six different apps using bootstrap -.- it gets really annoying, and I just can't stand it.
However, I'll take the suggestion of being informative over rage-filled to heart next time. Thanks!

I think the parent was talking about the screen shot with the big green rectangle in the center when he said "the end result". I, for one, thought the writing felt a bit rushed and perhaps overblown with the whole "you're lazy if you don't customize bootstrap" tone. But the tools you linked to seem like they're pretty useful, so I think you achieved your goal of raising awareness of how easy it is to customize bootstrap.

I'll keep that in mind. Didn't want it to sound like that. Unfortunately, the post arose from some frustration on my part. Thanks!

I agree (with the tone point) - it was a very good article, made some good points, but I felt like it was shouting at me. Given that I agreed with the points that rubbed me the wrong way a little.
It's nice to see people achieving visual differentiation with Bootstrap and a little bit of effort!
