Customizer - comment w/ differences

[NinoD]

Tweeking and upgrading TWBS is neverending story, therefore new v. and patches are imminent.

Would it be nice for customizer to have at the top of customized bootstrap.css comment w/ differences between default and generated customized version?

/!
** Customised variables ***

*** Typography ***
@font-family-sans-serif Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif

*** Headings ***
@headings-font-weight 700

*** Components ***
Border radius sizes
@border-radius-base 3px
@border-radius-large 4px
@border-radius-small 2px

etc.
*/

This would make customizing next iteration much easier.
Just a thought.

Thx for all great work (& vids you post)

Nice thought but we likely won't be going that in the customizer. That's a job for the changeling and blog post.

[NinoD]

I'm not sure if we understood each other.

Changeling and blog post are for differences you have made between v.2.3.2 and v.3.0.0.

I was thinking of listing a differences between
settings that user made through customizer v.3.0.0.
and
default settings of v.3.0.0.
as comment on top of custom generated bootstrap.css.

That is usefull info for presetting customizer when next versions is released.

Anyway, thx for your answer.

I think you can easily do that using any diff tool.

[NinoD]

Not easily if compiler creates multiple changes in .css based on one paramater.

i.e. changing
@brand-success
results in changes in
.btn-success, .btn-success.disabled, .progress-bar-success, .label-success

Instead of comparing diffs, I just need to have my (unique) presetting of customizer saved for future updates and patches.

• I was even thinking of solution of having to upload generated .txt to prefill customiser settings, but its too complicated and too much to ask.

[NinoD]

Yeah baby, that's what I was talking 'bout...

http://getbootstrap.com/customize/?id=...
ID saves settings, so tweeking of css can be continued later, w/o inputing all prior changed settings.

It would be nice if that was stated in dosc, rather then mentioned in blog.

Still, although this is perfect for short time usage, I think there are two issues:

1. for how long IDs will be saved?
2. I'd preffer having my customizer settings downloaded and saved localy, for safe keeping and reviewing.
