How is this theme different from this one:

http://drupal.org/project/twitter_bootstrap

It would be better to combine efforts rather than duplicate them, or I might suggest using the twitter_bootstrap theme as a base theme and making this one a sub-theme if it really warrants it.

Hello,

Thanks for the question.

We are approaching the problem differently.

Twitter Bootstrap Project uses less. The PHP less compiler has issues that the less javascript / nodejs compiler doesn't have. This means using semantic markup is out of the question. Less inheritance is clunky, nested styles are not inherited. This makes it impossible to style Drupal using twitter without lots of theme overrides, which could mess up styles provided by 3rd party modules as the classes will be different.

Ded Theme uses sass to generate styles, this gives better inheritance, and makes integrating Bootstrap into Drupal painless. This theme also gives a smaller CSS footprint as there is no need to include all the bootstrap files, only the ones needed. Semantic markup, you don't have to sprinkle twitter classes in your code, simply use standard Drupal classes. Ded theme uses Drupal's built-in classes and styles them using twitter bootstrap css.

I invite you to test both themes and see the difference yourself.

Feel free to reopen if you have any other questions on this matter.

Thanks!

Troy
