Bootstrap: Can't find bootstrap-theme.css for version ^4.0.0-alpha.4

[pankajparkar]

I had bootstrap 3.3.7 version. Now I'm looking to migrate it to bootstrap v4.

I have included bootstrap.min.css with bootstrap-theme.min.css, but while migrating it to v4 I don't find from where I can get bootstrap-theme.min.css for latest v4 release.

Separate theme has been removed from v4

Replaced the separate optional theme with configurable options via SCSS variables

@patrickhlauke I went through that migration guide.

Still don't understand "from where I can get"/"how can I apply" bootstrap-theme to my application?

@pankajparkar you have to recompile the SCSS source with $enable-gradients: true;

[patrickhlauke]

in short: there's no more separate theme. any changes need to be done by changing the sass file for variables and locally recompiling the CSS

@wolfy1339 Thanks for pointer, I tried what you have suggested. What I did is, I put $enable-gradients: true; in _varaible.scss & compiled scss to bootstrap.css but didn't get exact bootstrap-theme.css look and feel. Am I missing something silly? I want to get exact bootstrap-theme.css which was there in bootstrap 3.3.7 version.

Maybe add $enable-shadows: True; too? Other than this variable there's no other one there to enable v3-like options. I would try posting this on StackOverflow, and link your question back here. It would help other users who want the same thing

@wolfy1339 Thanks for response. You suggestion got work for me. After applying your suggestions my navbar css wasn't getting applied. Thereafter an hour time googling found that, navbar has been fully re-written in v4, so I completely missed that part.

I end up re-writting navbar by referring new Navbar API.

No need to add question in SO I guess, If you add it that would be great thing.

@wolfy1339 small question, Is it OK if I start using v4 alpha version for production app?

Is it OK if I start using v4 alpha version for production app

alpha means alpha...there can still be drastic changes to the markup, styling and JS behavior. if you decide to use it in production, you need to be aware that things can and will change (so if you pull a newer version of v4 later on, it may require you to go back to your production app to adapt that to any changes that happened in the meantime).

@patrickhlauke Can I get roadmap link of BS v4 next releases & upcoming things?
