WonderCMS Bootstrap 5 theme

Author: Joaquim Homrighausen

(https://github.com/joho1968)

Simple Bootstrap 5 theme, inspired by "Simple Material inspired theme" by @tunguskha.

This theme does not contain the actual Bootstrap 5 files since I believe in modular design and resource distribution.

The WCMS-BS5-LOCAL plugin for WonderCMS plugin comes with Bootstrap 5.x and will serve Bootstrap 5.x files from your web server.

:warning: This theme is not compatible with the SummerNote editor plugin for WonderCMS, since it automatically includes Bootstrap from some CDN.

How to use

Download the wcms-bs5*.zip file
Unpack its contents in the themes/ folder of your WonderCMS site
Make sure you remove any folder prefix like -1.0.0 of the unpacked folder
Edit the data/files/database.js file and change the theme to wcms-bs5

Dark mode

The theme will, since 1.1.0, automatically detect the visitor browser's "theme preference" and toggle Bootstrap 5 to the corresponding setting ("dark" or "light"). One could possibly also add a manual toggle, but this involves a nice looking icon, and some more code. I would consider adding this if there's a request for it.

There's, unfortunately, a small "flash effect" when a page is first loaded if the visitor's browser has "Dark mode" enabled. I'm not sure if there's a better solution than the one I use in the theme to switch colors, if there is, I'm all ears.

I'm not entirely satisfied with Bootstrap 5's choices for the background colors used in its "dark mode", but to stay true to Boostrap's CSS classes, I have chosen not to modify anything.
