Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
When the Bootstrap theme is installed with the default settings, and a default Bootstrap CSS is attached, or even some of the Bootswatch libraries - the default Drupal "User Account" menu becomes invisible!
It's because it is rendered as the white text on the white background! Here is the screenshot:
But we still can find them by selecting the text by mouse:
Steps to reproduce
1. Get the vanilla Drupal installation.
2. Install the Bootstrap theme.
3. Configure the Bootstrap CSS theme.
4. Open the front page and see the User Account menu items invisible.
Proposed resolution
Add styles or fix Twig themes to make the menu items visible by default.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes

murzSeems the source of this issue is the wrong default setting for the
bootstrap_navbar_top_color- it should be 'navbar-light' instead of the 'navbar-dark'. I fixed this in the issue's MR.Attach a static patch file with the fix to make it possible to use in composer in a safe way until #3204538: GitLab Merge Requests Unable to Generate Incremental Patch Files is resolved.

yashaswi18 commentedI was able to reproduce this issue locally on Drupal 11 using the Bootstrap theme (5.0.x). After setting it up and verifying through the UI, I encountered the same error.
Applying the suggested fix resolved the issue successfully.
Also reviewed the code changes, and they look good.
