How to create a plone theme from a existing theme

Question

This question looks a lot similar to Purchased Theme to Custom Made Theme? .

I purchased a theme which uses Twitter Bootstrap, using which I built a basic website. I stumbled upon Plone (4.3) after my website went beta. I understand that you can make plone the backend for the existing design by creating a theme and using that theme file in the "Theming" option of "Site Setup". I am really not sure how to create this theme file with my existing theme. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Plone 4.3 ships with a sample bootstrap-based theme. I'd start by:

1. Turning on plone.app.theming (in the add/remove configlet),
2. Go to the theming config panel
3. Clone the bootstrap sample;
4. Start updating it with items from your bootstrap theme.

Read the plone.app.theming manual for vital information on how it all works.
