Themes for essayist #68

It would be cool if there was a configuration setting so I could configure a different theme for my own instance of Essayist.

We could have a property to give a CSS path leading to your own version of Bootstrap.

We could also support Bootswatch directly, with a property for the theme's name.

I would like:

  1. Theme name
  2. URL to my self hosted CSS file
  3. Inline CSS

That way I would first choose the theme by name, then I could overwrite the CSS of this theme with the CSS from my URL (if I have my own server where I can store it) and/or save the CSS as text which would just be dropped in the <head> of the page so it overwrites both the theme CSS and the URL CSS. But yeah like you wrote on Tent 2 and 3 can be implemented later too.

How does the theme stuff work. Is the base bootstrap always included and the theme CSS just an override or is it a complete replacement of CSS?

Bootwatch API: http://news.bootswatch.com/post/22193315172/bootswatch-api

I think Bootswatch uses a version of Bootstrap with overridden LESS variables and a custom CSS file. I'm using it in a WebJar, which makes things a bit easier.
