@George Is the theme manager considered working in the beta 12? I’m trying to set body text color’s, link color, Header styles, etc. and nothing seems to be going in.
Hi Ken,
What version of Bootstrap are you using?
Are you using the local version of it (and not CDN)?
Can you maybe show some screenshots of what did you change there in the theme manager?
Have you deployed the changes to the remote server?
Hey Teodor,
BS 5 beta 3 local.
Here is a test:
Changing body text and links…the preview works fine.
But the browser doesn’t see it.
Cache is disabled. Local development.
Am I using this properly?
Is the bootstrap 5 local included in your main layout page?
Well if after changes the theme get compiled successfully, you get a toast confirmation and it works in design view, then you should see it in the browser as well.
It’s not actually working in design view. The preview page works, but not the app.
Do you have also bootstrap 5 selected as design framework in your project options? Seems you have ver 4 there…
No in the general options there is a main choice for design framework
Yep, just saw that. It was incorrectly set.
So now the design preview page is showing boostrap 5, but does not reflect the changes.
Well if you change tge design framework in the project manager, you need to regenerate the theme in tge theme manager, by clicking the regenerate icon or change something
Nevermind, I’ve got it.
Once I changed to framework 5, I needed a rebuild.
All good.
Thanks guys!

I wonder if the Design Framework can be connected to the frameworks added. I’ve always gone directly to the frameworks and never even thought about the Design option.
You are welcome.
It’s always been like this with the theme manager - it generates the theme for the chosen design framework in the project options.
So that is why you didn’t saw the changes.
Yes there is definitely room for improvement there.
The framework includes are just much more than the design framework and also version specific. But we should indeed improve that to avoid confusions.

Or maybe just replicate that option over on the theme manager. If I saw bs4 while on the theme manager, I would have immediately known of my error.

Another suggestion here would be to add this Design Framework option to project creation options, like server model etc.
Just yesterday one of our devs created a new project, and changing that to BS5 local was a lot of work than it should be.
