Froots is a WordPress starter theme based on Roots & Foundation that will help you make better themes.
Froots is derived from the famous Roots WordPress starter theme. The main difference is that Bootstrap has been ripped out and left for dead only to be replaced by it's evil twin brother, Foundation.
Clone the git repo - git clone git://github.com/LogicSpot/Froots.git - or download it and then rename the directory to the name of your theme or website. Install Ruby. Install Grunt, and then install the dependencies for Froots contained in package.json by running the following from the Roots theme directory:
npm install
Reference the theme activation documentation to understand everything that happens once you activate Froots.
After you've installed Grunt and ran npm install from the theme root, use grunt watch to watch for updates to your SASS and JS files and Grunt will automatically re-build as you write your code.
Edit lib/config.php to enable or disable support for various theme functions and to define constants that are used throughout the theme.
Edit lib/init.php to setup custom navigation menus and post thumbnail sizes.
