Hi,

I want to compile Bootstrap css files using method 1 and using one of Bootswatch themes as a basis.

Can I just overwrite Bootstrap's variable.less with the one downloaded from the Bootswatch theme (i guess they contain the same variables?), and finally add the contents of bootswatch.less to style.less?

Title: Bootswatch + Bootstrap method 1 » Add "bootswatch" option to bootstrap-subtheme and bootstrap-wizard drush commands
Version: 7.x-3.0 » 7.x-3.x-dev

Short answer: it can be a little complicated/confusing to configure this just right. Yes, overriding the variables and importing the bootswatch.less file is what's needed. However, the sub-theme is currently configured and coupled too tightly.

This is why we're going the route of trying to automate this so a sub-theme can be created appropriately.

Thanks for the quick response!
When you have time, can you expand a bit more on "However, the sub-theme is currently configured and coupled too tightly"?

I mean, aren't all the variables in variables.less meant to be edited?

I don't think this is going to happen for 7.x.
