I'd like to make some changes to the bootstrap default style. For instance, change the padding for the navigation elements.

I noticed that when I change the LESS code for bootstrap (in /plugins/system/t3/base-bs3/bootstrap/less/variables.less for instance) the changes do not get recompiled when I use the "LESS to CSS" button.

What is the recommended method to make these changes? And how can I recompile the LESS for the bootstrap core?

Hi Mike Dinescu,

Q: I noticed that when I change the LESS code for bootstrap (in /plugins/system/t3/base-bs3/bootstrap/less/variables.less for instance) the changes do not get recompiled when I use the "LESS to CSS" button.

A: The file is overridden in template (templates/t3_bs3-blank/less/variables.less). Please don't customize in T3 core (plugins/system/t3/) as the customization could not be applied if it's overridden in template already. The customization should be implemented in template.

Gardner.
