[Toaster] Thread: Customizing Bootstrap for new UI Tools

[Damian, Alexandru]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply - I would strongly suggest not to fork bootstrap,
for both maintenance and legal reasons.

Of course Bootstrap is open source, and we can do whatever we want to it,
but if our changes have no chances to be eventually integrated upstream, it
will be a nightmare to continue merging our changes when we update
Bootstrap, as you say.

Cheers,
Alex
