Configuration

Javascript settings are set via a global _386 object.

Animation

The loading animation can be configured through the following values:

  • fastLoad [bool] (default: false) - disable all animation.
  • onePass [bool] (default: false) - when set, this will disable the second flyby cursor
  • speedFactor [float] (default: 1.0) - This controls how fast the animation happens. Higher values mean faster animation.

Example:

_386 = { onePass: true, speedFactor: 1.25 };

Note: For the progressive animation to work you may need to set this stanza in your regular CSS: body { visibility: hidden }.

Accomodating users without javascript

During a 2018 April fools' prank, a user pointed out that this theme doesn't work without javascript. This is a valid concern, however it cannot be addressed without a user manually doing something since this is just a bootstrap theme.

Luckily, HTML5 permits noscript in the head section which means that style can be put in the noscript section. This means that putting this in the header would permit people without JS on to see the site:

<noscript>
  <style>
    body { 
       visibility: visible; 
    }
  </style>
</noscript>

Bugs and Stuff

Check out the contribution doc - it's easy, I swear.

Building yourself

These folders, and all versions, are proper forks of tagged releases of bootstrap. Because they represent very specific snapshots in time, there's no configuration json, buildbot updates or anything like that. If you want to patch updates to the dependencies and confirm the build of the old versions then please open a PR ... I ignore the automated ones that github sends me because it's not that kind of project.

For building, I have included README.md in each of the directories. Unlike the lazy chumps over at bootstrap industries, I actually support 4 versions, simultaneously. Now I do so very poorly, and with a proposterous time lag, but I supposedly do.
