is the table of contents ordering out of whack for everyone? when I scroll down the page, the right hand table of contents jumps typography->grid system->code->tables, even though the menu is laid out as typography->code->grid system->tables...

with some sass knowledge you are better of starting off with a couple of mixins and building from bottom up as compared to loading a fat css file you probably won't use 80pc of its rules.

Normalize css[1] Bourbon[2] for utilities Neat[3] for the grid, Typeplate[4] for a nice type base.

If you still need bootstrap style elements, you can get individual mixins and styles from one the bootstrap-sass projects[5]

Not sure if I like this at all. I think they need to call it Bootstrap 3: flat and fat! It just seems like a huge step back to me. It's not even an elegant "flat" design; it's like they scrapped everything and decided to make all classes (even buttons for God's sake) DIVs of different colors. The new navbar, for example, is literally a gray DIV with rounded edges. I use Bootstrap on my web app because I care about de…

Meh. too flat

Apparently you can.

Regardless: ull/6342#issuecomment-12332378 Gradients and other embellishments have temporarily been removed while I focus on other things. It has nothing to do with skeuomorphism or anything like that.

Is it me or do they use greyish text on white background that makes the whole thing hard to read ? i'd like to understand , what the hell is that low contrast trend and how does it make the text more readable ? Designer should quit it. Are they stupid or what ? Also this flat trend make the design very poor , but maybe that's the intended effect.
