Comment

Samuel J Huskey's recent blog post, "Rebuilding a Theme, Part IV: Working with Bootstrap," details the process of customizing a Bootstrap5 subtheme in Drupal. Samuel explains how to override Bootstrap's default settings using SCSS files, such as _variables_bootstrap.scss and _variables_drupal.scss, to ensure the theme aligns with specific branding requirements. He provides a step-by-step guide on changing the navbar's background color by modifying the page.html.twig template and adding custom CSS in style.scss. This approach involves several lines of code and allows for consistent site-wide application without redundancy. Samuel emphasizes the importance of understanding Bootstrap's customizable variables and offers practical insights for Drupal front-end development.
