Theme development

Hi everybody!

I am learning about themes in drupal.
I have installed the Zen theme, and I have created a subtheme (with the STARTERKIT folder) inside of my /drupal/sites/all/themes. After, I have activated the theme in my drupal web.

I am reading a lot of articles and videos about Zen. However, I don't understand why i have to create a subtheme of Zen, if I simply can modify the Zen theme.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a bootstrap-based sub-theme for a project, and I'd like to add the colour module to my theme. Roaming The Net I came across several amazing instructions & guides (eg. by codekarate/Shane Thomas, Kyle Taylor), but try as I might I'm failing badly at accomplishing the task at hand.

What I've done so far

How to change it??

I'm working on making my own layout/theme for private use using Drupal, I want to style everything on the site including the Login page, I have an idea of what I want to do with it but I don't know how I am able to style it saying it uses the same styling classes and id's as other parts of the site.

How would I go about styling my login page but making it so the style for the login does not affect any other pages or parts of the website? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm making a theme and probably made something wrong, but now that I'm almost finish, there is a problem with the default Search module.

If I made a search now, it give me no results at all, only the option to make an Advance search, but if I do the Advance Search with the same word I used for the basic one, it gives me the right results.

I've tried to re-index all the content, but as are being displayed on the Advance Search probably is not a problem of the indexation.

I want to use bootstrap for some buttons.

I put this in my info file:

scripts[] = js/npm.js
scripts[] = js/bootstrap-min.js
scripts[] = js/bootstrap.js

But still, buttons don't look like bootstrap, css not working.

How can I have Bootstap buttons in my content?

Kind of know how to do it, but missing something...
