I’m just geting started with twitter bootstrap and wanted to know what the best

  • 0

I’m just geting started with twitter bootstrap and wanted to know what the best approach for changing the default width from 940px to 864px is. I tried using the customize page to change the @gridColumnWidth variable to 50px. which should make the total width 820px but the default width is just adjusted to 1170px after downloading. Should I just leave the default at 940px and nest a div with a width of 864px inside my .row>.span12 divs?

I also tried using the less files but when I try to compile them as css files I get errors that say classes, id’s, and variable are undefined.

Thanks for any help,

Jason

    It’s working fine for me using the customize page.

    Make sure to modify @gridColumnWidth, @gridColumnWidth1200, and @gridColumnWidth768 (and optionally @gridGutterWidth*).
    The 1170px width you’re seeing corresponds to @gridColumnWidth1200.
