It's been hours i'm fiddling with this theme and I just can't make it work the same way as the demos you provided. Like, I can't even get the navbar right.

Technically a bootstrap theme should change the appearance of a website without touching the html inside. But when I simply try, for instance, to get a basic navbar, using the code in bootstrap's documentation, I just get something like this:

I'm not even sure I'm doing right in setting the <head>. Which files should I take between the ones in bootstrap and dist?

In fact, i'm completely lost, even if i'm used to work with bootstrap...

alright sure.

the 3.3 version was really incomplete I'm guessing that's what you were using ... the v4 version should be working eventually and it may have some extensions ... I'm still thinking it over

In fact, after testing all and all, so far the only version i could make work correctly was the v2 (and i had to learn how bootstrap v2 worked. lol) Haven't tried the v4.4 yet though.

If i have time i'll see if i can contribute for it ^^

I'll probably make a video. I made this for another project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GT1J-ejM3Q

This one will be a bit different ... it'd be a challenging project. Essentially I want a tutorial on setting the thing up ... that part is easy.

I'll want it to look like it was made in about 1993 or so so I want it to be on Windows 3.1. Essentially I put in my boostra floppy disk, extract the zip file, then add it to an existing project using an appropriate aged editor ... I don't want notepad or edit, it's not silly enough.

Part of the problem is all the HTML editors are post-1995 ... that breaks the theater. I can use borland for dos but that's just a blue window ... so yeah ... I'll think about how to do a helpful tutorial in a vintage style

heh that challenge sounds funny ^^ Though i wonder if UTF-8 actually works on win3.1 too :p
