[Koha-devel] OPAC themes

[Martin Renvoize]

I'm not so sure about switching to bootstrap.. it's not as backwards
compatible as jQuery UI for older browsers... but it's an idea.

I would be tempted to use a css framwork though.. (may most of the
advatnages can come from using more features of template toolkit though..
someone stpe in and correct me if thats true).

SASS and LESS are both good css framework options.. giving you more
programatic type options within your style.

Another 2 cents for the pile ;)
