WinJS "Controls" in WinStrap?

robertmuehsig opened this issue · comments

Hi
I just discovered this project. The idea of using Bootstrap as the underlying "Theme" is great, because it is well known. Currently there are many "Metro"-bootstrap Themes out there, but they all have more or less the same style and target: Web Applications.

If I look at the current Win10 apps like Groove Music or the Xbox App they make heavily use of the http://try.buildwinjs.com/#splitview (at the first glance... of course there are many controls used... )

So my question is: Are you trying to build a real bootstrap theme targeting for the Windows Universal World where a "SplitView" is just a couple of HTML elements away, because the "default" style and behaviour is baked into your template?
Or do you just try to make a Modern-Design-Language Theme for Bootstrap, without touching the WinJS controls?

I know I could mix "WinStrap" and the WinJS Stuff, but the beauty of Bootstrap is that a couple of default styles are shipped with the bootstrap.css.

+1 this. As there are many elements that aren't part of Bootstrap by default in this theme, but do exist in WinJS, I hope SplitView will soon join the list!

Or do you just try to make a Modern-Design-Language Theme for Bootstrap, without touching the WinJS controls?

Yes, this more in line with the goal of Winstrap. Winstrap is not intended to be closely tied to WinJS.
