How to use bootstrap-theme.css with bootstrap 3?

[Ellajohn]

Hi all,
After downloading a complete pack of bootstrap 3 from http://getbootstrap.com, I noticed that there is a separate css file for theme. How to make use of it? Please explain?

I included bootstrap-theme.css in my existing bootstrap project, but there is no difference in output.

The Base ReadyTheme ships with

• minibasket.css
• bootstrap.css
• font-awesome.css
• style.css
• default.css
• readytheme.css

The style.css is where the site styling is mainly controlled for this ReadyTheme. Generally, you cannot add a Bootstrap theme file without having to modify either the classes being used or the page code to reflect the styles in the new theme.

Basically when you use the Bootstrap 3 theme you need to study the style.css file for all the css overrides put in by the theme developers. Sometimes it's a bit tricky to figure out why something that works in basic bootstrap doesn't work in the bootstrap base readytheme.

or... create another style2.css at the very bottom of the list and override everything you don't like

This begs the question - which version of Bootstrap is this ReadyTheme built on?

This ReadyTheme uses Bootstrap v3.0.0
