Twitter Bootstrap in Firefox Extension - css

When I use Bootstrap to make a style in my extension in Firefox, the style is applying to browser's style. How to fix it?
with Bootstrap
without Bootstrap

It looks like you're adding the bootstrap CSS via an overlay to browser.xul itself. The bootstrap styles and rules will clash with the browser.xul styles. That is not supported.
You're free to use bootstrap in own (add-on) webpages, and maybe even windows, but you cannot use it in overlays.

tailwindcss-forms plugin / styling forms with Tailwind CSS

I am new to Tailwind CSS and stumbled across the tailwindcss-forms plugin.
Why exactly do we need that? Does it just provide new classes that I have to apply manually or does it by default apply some classes to forms?
Can't I just apply classes from the regular Tailwind CSS to my forms?
What's the difference to e.g. tailwindcss-custom-forms?
Tailwind CSS is not exactly providing solutions for form elements like Select-tags and co. that work on all major browsers.
If you apply those from Tailwind CSS, you may either add your own elements (e.g. arrows) for a Select tag, inputs, and co. or work with CSS. You can also look on how developers solved these issues with examples from Tailwind Components.
Tailwind CSS Forms was made to make this possible and it works with Tailwind CSS 2 while Tailwind CSS Custom Form is deprecated.

How does one modify a twitter bootstrap component?

I know I can just have a custom stylesheet that overrides the bootstrap component I wish to customize (for example the jumbotron), but is the right way to go about this "problem"? I don't think this can be done with a bootstrap theme, although I haven't read a whole lot on this subject.
You can use your browsers DevTools to inspect an element that you want to change, and in the Rules/Styles section you can see which CSS elements is it using and then you can create your own css file and paste the CSS there and change it so it overrides bootstraps element. Here is how to get the devtools from Chrome https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#dom-and-styles and from Firefox https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/How_to/Open_the_Inspector. Don't forget to import your CSS customised script under bootstraps so it overrides the CSS that you wish to change.
Use twitter-bootstrap customize on their website to customize it and download the customized files. Or just create a custom CSS file and edit classes like .jumbotron and other stuff
There are a few ways to modify the default bootstrap css and no one way is inherently more or less "right" than any other. It all depends on the coding style of you and/or your team. Here is a list of a few ways that I came up with off the top of my head:
Modify the css file you downloaded from Bootstrap
(My Choice) Override Bootstrap styles with your own CSS. Just be sure to follow the rules of CSS Specificity (External < Internal < Inline) and if you have trouble getting a certain rule to apply try reading this answer or force it with !important
NOTE: This is likely NOT a comprehensive list, just a starting point.

Polymer and bootstrap issue with chrome

I've got a strange issue with Bootstrap and Polymer.
I built my whole website using polymer and his power, but when I just want to use column bootstrap layout on my website, it's not working with Chrome. But it's not a problem with Safari or Firefox.
I've tried to import CSS into main.css with an #import, I've imported the CSS into my template, into the head, at the end, but it's still the same issue: Chrome don't want to read Bootstrap's CSS file.
Have I missed something?
Polymer elements have a shadow DOM, that isolate them from external styles
If you put a css file in the body, it will be ignored by the polymer elements (except the html /deep/ styles, but bootstrap css does not have these styles)

Bootstrap and grocery_CRUD css priority

I'm on a web project using bootstrap style, then I incorpored the grocery_CRUD framework and I started having problems with the css.
It seems the grocery_CRUD has priority on the css files, when it renders a table, all style changes.
I want all web site has the bootstrap css and only the tables rendered with grocery_CRUD has its style.
Any solution?
I think you are looking for the "bootstrap" theme at grocery CRUD. Just be aware that it is still in BETA phase. You can simply have a bootstrap theme like this:
$crud->set_theme('twitter-bootstrap');
I answer my question:
It's all about order of loading CSS... just didn't think about it, need to load first grocery_crud theme and then my css file. I had backwards overwriting my style

Best way to override default dropdown-menu css in Twitter Boostrap with Angular JS

I have a twitter bootstrap web template that I'm integrating with angular ui to develop a SPA. I have been able to do this integration to some level but I want to override the default css that Twitter Boostrap dropdown-men with Angular JS provides. Thanks for any help.
Option 1) Edit the Bootstrap CSS
You can edit the bootstrap CSS but this means you are assuming all risk for integrating nay future bootstrap changes. I don't recommend it unless you want to trim out all bootstrap CSS except what you need. Only mentioning it because it is an option, though not one I recommend.
Option 2) Create your own CSS to override Bootstrap's CSS
Create a CSS file such as styles.css and have it listed after bootstrap's CSS in your HTML file. Then override the styles for what you need. This is pretty easy and allows you to leave Bootstrap untouched.
Option 3) Pay a CSS expert :)
OK, so seriously ... choose option 2.
