Any progress on TWBS 4.1? #70

I know you said you were working on it in #65 but I haven't seen any non-vanilla-BS changes in 9 months. If you know of an updated fork you could point me to at least, that'd be great.

Same, anyone know of a fork that's doing this work?

sure, this is such a silly project to take seriously ... guess I'll do that soon.

I have a pseudo theme that kinda looks like this, but its not anywhere near as complete. _variables.i386.scss I too would love to see this updated to work with bootstrap 4+

you may have noticed ... the commits are coming in. It's going to be a lot of work to transform this thing over. It's all in ems which we can't use. Well ok, I could technically use it ... the problem is that (r)em is (r)em whether vertical or horizontal and the DOS fonts are rectangles. There's technically 3: 9x14, 8x14 and 8x8 but I need to pick one so I use 8x14 for the calculations.

Now yes, of course, sure, 14/8 is 1.75 so I could use that multiplier throughout and fall back to rems ... ok, sure ... and it would be some kind of sick acrobatic exercise, just to my liking in doing a pixel based system using rems, but my work is already cut out for me right now.

So I'm pursuing px based measurements. I may decide to do the rem based approach just because it'd be funnier though ... we'll see how it progresses.

alright sure I'll do a hybrid for now.
