Starterkit vs Base theme workflow

Created on 10 June 2024, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Hello guys! Awesome work with this theme. At DXPR we have initiatives starting now to improve RTL support and accessibility, as well as adopting Single Directory Components across our products. DXPR Theme currently uses bootstrap5 base theme which does not support RTL Bootstrap out of the box.

In my research I found Vartheme_bs5 which seems to have working support for RTL Bootstrap, great! Now I'm just confused about this part:

“Do not think of Vartheme BS5 as a base theme, It is a starter kit theme. It has template mapping with Single Directory Components.”

What if you fix a bug with your RTL handling, or update the bootstrap assets version, or add a new feature, we won't get it if we just create a new theme, using this as a StarterKit? If we want to continue getting update from your work on this theme, can we still choose to use it as a base theme or is that not possible?

Let me know what you think about rebasing DXPR Theme on varbase_bs5 and what recommendations you might have. DXPR Theme is a low-code theme design tool with over 200 theme settings, if you like to try it I recommend the 6.x branch which supports live preview for most theme settings.
