Hello guys! Awesome work with this theme. At DXPR we have initiatives starting now to improve RTL support and accessibility, as well as adopting Single Directory Components across our products. DXPR Theme currently uses bootstrap5 base theme which does not support RTL Bootstrap out of the box.
In my research I found Vartheme_bs5 which seems to have working support for RTL Bootstrap, great! Now I'm just confused about this part:
“Do not think of Vartheme BS5 as a base theme, It is a starter kit theme. It has template mapping with Single Directory Components.”
What if you fix a bug with your RTL handling, or update the bootstrap assets version, or add a new feature, we won't get it if we just create a new theme, using this as a StarterKit? If we want to continue getting update from your work on this theme, can we still choose to use it as a base theme or is that not possible?
Let me know what you think about rebasing DXPR Theme on varbase_bs5 and what recommendations you might have. DXPR Theme is a low-code theme design tool with over 200 theme settings, if you like to try it I recommend the 6.x branch which supports live preview for most theme settings.

rajab natshahThanks, Jurriaan, for asking such a legitimate question.
We are moving to generative ways of development with starter kits in Drupal.

Moving to the "The Age of Quick Assemblers"
By doing this your new theme is your custom-managed theme for the project and please, uninstall Vartheme BS5 after activating the theme.
Fixes, are in Varbase Components, which you could keep your custom copy, and update what you need at the component level, not the theme level.
