I'd like to change the "cutoff" width (currently 767px) at which Bootstrap changes from small-desktop mode (i.e. grid elements in a row are still horizontally placed) to phone mode (i.e. grid elements in a row are placed on top of each other and fill the screen width). Specifically, Bootstrap uses queries like #media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px). It seems that the 767 and 768 are hard-coded into the LESS source code, though. Is there a supported way to do this, or will I just have to make the changes manually and hope it doesn't break anything?
EDIT: Yes, I know that Twitter chose these values for a reason... it just strikes me as odd that seemingly everything else in the framework is modular and customizable.
The LESS value you look for is
#grid-float-breakpoint: 123px;
You have to override the responsive part of Bootstrap. I would not load bootstrap-responsive and load my own ones. Everything is defined in responsive*.less files.

What's the best way to
achieve going from a menu like this :
to this when screensize reaches a certain width :
So basically change certain texts to icons.
Is the only way pre-defining it and changing the display property in css from none to block ? or is there a better way ?
You got it. I would start by in the correct order list all the elements for mobile and desktop together then display:none the ones you want to be hidden on desktop and go from there. Could do it with JS but that's a lot more work and could look wonky on load.
+1 on what #MPortman said, it'd be better to have a clear idea at the start;
I would use CSS Media Queries to do that.
You can for istance just use the display:none starting from a specific width.
The web inspector is useful to see some "common breakpoints" but you don't have to target #media rules at specific devices, it'd be better narrow to your desktop browser window and observe the natural breakpoints for your content.
Media queries are a good way to make responsive pages, you can hide or show elements from a certain width of the device used (mobile/desktop for example).
You can use them to set a minimum width and a maximum width.
For example:
/* If the screen size is between 768px and 900px (included), hide the element */
#media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 900px) {
div.example {
display:none
}
}
Will hide the element on a screen bigger than 768px and 900px.
I'm developing a website and I have some problem with bootstrap/CSS.
http://50.87.248.234/~placehx2/
On this page the main menu changes its style under 992px, but I want it in mobile style even on big size screen.
How have I to modify the media queries?
Many Thanks
#media (max-width:1024px) {
mobile code here
}
You can change the width to what you need for the site
This may be a very hacky way of achieving what you would like but if you can't find another way to do it, you could replace all the media min-widths with larger widths.
#media (min-width: 768px) {
//bootstrap classes go here
}
This should make the mobile style apply with bigger windows, but it's a bit of a pain to deal with if you plan on updating your bootstrap version later because you'll have to repeat it. But for a quick fix this will do.
Im a total newbie as far as mobile devices are concerned. Anyhow, i created a webpage (still under construction) and implemented it on the existing wp theme called govpress (yes, i know it might not be the most practical way to make things happen but with my coding skills it was the easiest). Now i just cant get it working correctly with mobile devices. I havent found the code that makes it behave as it does. So, on a mobile it seems to scale the page to screen width resolution of the device(?). Also the background and the header div (full width) scales to device screen width. And even if i zoom out it doesnt enlarge the bg nor the header div. Is it the theme that has this behavior somewhere coded or is it somewhere in the css..!? Heeeelp, please!!!
Find the site on http://www.lifespectrum.eu
And heres my css: http://lifespectrum.eu/wp-content/themes/govpress/style.css
(lots of thrash there though)
Please ask if you need anything else!
Thanks in advance!
The scaling is done in the css file via media queries. Adjust these statements accordingly to make the background/header do what you want:
#media screen and (max-width: 840px)
#media screen and (max-device-width: 680px)
#media screen and (max-width: 480px)
Mobile behaviors are CSS. Your last CSS codes #media screen and (max-device-width: 680px) are doing this behavior. You can easily check your responsive style just by making your desktop window screen smaller and larger. By doing this, you can easily see that your logo header is responsive but your body content is staying the same.
I would inspect element on the body and do the same as you did with the .logo You can preview your changes by editing right in the inspect element with chrome (right-click & inspect element) just to see how it'll look.
It looks like your background/header are the only elements that have css written to resize them in the media queries cfnerd listed.
The content area has the classes you need to adjust settings for in the media queries at different widths. For example, you have .topwhite and .top divs set in the css to a static width of 810px. Once the window width is smaller than 810px those will give you the nasty horizontal scrolling bars. One quick fix is to set them as a
width:100%;
max-width:810px;
so that at most they can go to the original size you set but as the device or window width gets smaller the size of those divs will shrink along with it. That will only help you with the containers, you will have to also add new css settings for the contents as well. But you can use the same idea.
You may need to implement the viewport mets tag. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
When i use Bootstrap 3 Non-Responsive version the grid keep the responsive features for the offset on browsers lower than #media (min-width: 768px) and that make them disappear and move my layout.
I searched for the issue on the Internet but no one seems to have the problem.
I will keep looking and try to fix it.
I found the problem (I forgot to add width: 970px !important; to my style.less)
To activate Bootstrap Non-Responsive *as written on bootstrap documentation:
1.- Omit the viewport mentioned in the CSS docs
2.- Override the width on the .container for each grid tier with a single width, for example width: 970px !important; Be sure that this comes after the default Bootstrap CSS. You can optionally avoid the !important with media queries or some selector-fu.
3.- If using navbars, remove all navbar collapsing and expanding behavior.
4.- For grid layouts, use .col-xs-* classes in addition to, or in place of, the medium/large ones. Don't worry, the extra-small device grid scales to all resolutions.
.col-xs-offset-* classes work for non-responsive offset as well.
I've found StackOverflow extremely useful so thanks for any help in advance.
On http://test2.heyscout.com/, I'm wondering how to properly set up my background-image in my "hero div" for responsive web design. I've been playing around with numerous settings but I'd like it to:
stay in position consistently without jumping around due to browser size (for example, on the mobile phone, it gets misaligned or there's white space where there shouldn't be)
the 'Verify Anyone Offline' doesn't resize properly even though I set it in em
the button looks strange on a mobile device
What is the best practice for keeping the "hero div" in check? I'd surmise it'd have to do something with the min-height or perhaps fixing the dimensions of the actual image. Should I set the height of the hero div in percentage rather than pixels?
Also any advice on how to keep my "trimester div" fill up nicely the bottom 1/3 of the page consistently would be great- I'd imagine when the height of the browser is bigger than expected, it'd look strange. I've read that it's best to keep the height attribute alone for RWD but I'm wondering if there are any tricks to make sure it resizes properly.
Have you looked into Media Queries? Basically, they allow you to set specific CSS based on browser width (and height). This will allow you to control how your page looks at specific browser sizes.
Example - CSS at different widths:
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
/* add some CSS here for 600px maximum width*/
}
#media screen and (max-width: 960px) {
/* add some CSS here for 960px maximum width*/
}
To get the background image to always fill the div, use background-size: cover2 unless you need to support IE8.
If your font size doesn't look right across pc/tablet/handheld, try using media queries to set font sizes for specific resolutions.
I'm not sure how to help you with your button "looking strange", except to offer profuse sympathy.
In the future, try to keep your questions more focused. :)
give
background-size:contain;
and this may solve your problem, because it will auto adjust size by contain!
