A bootstrap based theme for friendica

This Theme was started as Experiment to give the user a good looking and modern theme for friendica.

I conentrated on 3 topics:

A Modern, mobile friendly UI with bootstrap and awesome font
Try to get a new UX for friendica (e.g. use modals where it seems to be useful)
Give the user a powerfull (but easy) possebillities for custimation to personalize the theme and give it a own note.

Installation Requirements:

modern Browser with JS enabled (Chrome/Chromium is recommended)
enabled frio_hovercard addon
if you update the theme you should disable and enable the theme again from the admin panel (to apply possible new hooks)

Note: This theme is far from beeing stable and ready for productive use. Many parts are missing and will be never added. Because of the heavy use of the bootstrap framework nearly every friendica theme template may have to be overwritten. It would be a lot of work and after that it would be hard to maintain the theme.

So why I am doing this? This theme should be the start of a discussion in the friendica community (users and developers) about UI/UX in friendica. What frameworks do we want to use? How should default friendica look like? And how do we want to use friendica? What do we need in the core code (At the present time some stuff in this is done with ugly javascript hacks and own php code)?

Coding a theme is much work but you will get a really good insight of the limitations of friendica and can start a discussion about doing things differently. So join the discussion at the friendica forums ;-)

If anyone wants to contribute to this theme he/she is welcome to do this.

PS: Don't blame me too much for ugly code and hacks. Fix it ;-)
