<h4>Compiling Bootstrap's LESS files</h4>

<p>Unless you plan on reading a good chunk of the compiled CSS, go with the minified. It's the same code, just compacted. Less bandwidth is good, especially in production environments.</p>

<h3>Customizing components</h3>
<p>You can customize components to varying degrees, but most fall into two camps: light customizations and complete visual overhauls. Luckily, plenty examples of both are available.</p>
<p>We define light customizations as mostly surface layer changes, things like a color and font changes to existing Bootstrap components. A great example of this is the the <a href="http://translate.twitter.com">Twitter Translation Center</a> (coded by @mdo). Let's look at how to implement the custom button we wrote for this site, <code>.btn-ttc</code>.</p>
<p>Instead of using the provided Bootstrap buttons, which only require just one class to start, <code>.btn</code>, we'll add our own modifier class, <code>.btn-ttc</code>. This will give us a slightly custom look with minimal effort.</p>

<p>Customizing Bootstrap components takes time, but should be straightforward. <strong>Look to the source code often and duplicate the selectors you need for your modifications.</strong> Placing them after the Bootstrap source makes for easy overriding without complication. <strong>To recap, here's the basic workflow:</strong></p>
<p>In short: Look to the style source and duplicate the selectors you need for your modifications.</p>
<p><strong>In summary, here's the basic workflow:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>For each element you want to customize, find its code in the compiled Bootstrap CSS. Copy and paste the selector for a component as-is. For instance, to customize the navbar background, just snag <code>.navbar</code>.</li>
<li>Add all your custom CSS in a separate stylesheet using the selectors you just copied from the Bootstrap source. No need for prefacing with additional classes or using <code>!important</code> here.</li>

<li>Copy the component's selector and styles and paste them in your custom stylesheet. For instance, to customize the navbar background, just copy the <code>.navbar</code> style specificaton.</li>
<li>In your custom stylesheet, edit the CSS you just copied from the Bootstrap source. No need for prepending additional classes, or appending <code>!important</code> here. Keep it simple.</li>
<li>Rinse and repeat until you're happy with your customizations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Going beyond light customizations and into visual overhauls is just as straightforward as the above custom button. For a site like <a href="http://yourkarma.com">Karma</a>, which uses Bootstrap as a CSS reset with heavy modifications, more extensive work is involved, but well worth it in the end.</p>
<p>Once you are comfortable performing light customizations, visual overhauls are just as straightforward. For a site like <a href="http://yourkarma.com">Karma</a>, which uses Bootstrap as a CSS reset with heavy modifications, more extensive work is involved. But the same principle applies: include Bootstrap's default stylesheet first, then apply your custom stylesheet.</p>

<h3>Removing potential bloat</h3>
<p>Not all sites and applications need to make use of everything Bootstrap has to offer, especially in production environments where bandwidth literally becomes a financial issue. We encourage folks to remove whatever is unused with our <a href="../customize/">Customizer</a>.</p>
<p>Not all sites and applications need to make use of everything Bootstrap has to offer, especially in production environments where optimizing bandwidth is an issue. We encourage you to remove whatever is unused with our <a href="../customize/">Customizer</a>.</p>
<p>Using the Customizer, simply uncheck any component, feature, or asset you don't need. Hit download and swap out the default Bootstrap files with these newly customized ones. You'll get vanilla Bootstrap, but without the features *you* deem unnecessary. All custom builds include compiled and minified versions, so use whichever works for you.</p>
