I'm trying to find a relatively easy way of adding padding to my containers with Twitter Bootstrap. All works well but at some resolutions, the window doesn't fit the screen. I figure I have to go and compensate for the padding by removing some of the width from various span classes?
This is quite hard work, just the mathematics alone is problematic. For this reason, perhaps it's best to use the less file that Bootstrap apparently comes with.
The only problem is I can't seem to find them anywhere. Do these files actually exist? Unfortunately I only know how to use Less through an app like Codekit as opposed to using the command line.
Alternatively, if anyone else knows of any way to add padding to the container, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
This way you can use Bootstrap's Less variables, mixins, and nesting in CSS. You may obtain Twitter Boot Strap from GitHUB and Less CSS from lesscss.org. Once you downloaded the Twitter Bootstrap, unzip the file and all the files will be extracted to the desired folder.
At Twitter, Bootstrap has quickly become one of our many go-to front-end tools when starting new applications and sites.
Twitter Bootstrap is a front end framework to develop web apps and sites fast. In modern web development, there are several components which are required in almost all web projects. Bootstrap provides you with all those basic modules - Grid, Typography, Tables, Forms, Buttons, and Responsiveness.
Most developers would probably clone the Twitter Bootstrap GitHub repository. However, if you're not used to working with git, there is a regular download of the repository.
You also might want to check out the Twitter Bootstrap Customize Page, which allows one to edit many of the LESS rules and then have it compile on their server.
LESS files are in github repo - https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/master/less
