This project was born at the 2016 PKP Sprint in Montreal. It aims to provide a common starting point for anyone who wants to build a custom theme for OJS 3.0.
The goal was to stay true to Bootstrap 3's core components, so that developers familiar with the HTML, CSS and JavaScript framework can more easily read and customize the code base. By sticking close to Bootstrap 3's supported components, the theme is able to more easily leverage the many existing Bootstrap 3 resources out there.
This theme is a work-in-progress. It may not support all features of OJS 3.0 and some of the bundled themes could use some polish. It's intended to act as a base for custom development, but many journals may use it out-of-the-box.
If you see something that could be improved, please issue a Pull Request.
