Create a Bootstrap theme for v6
In order to test @maurohmartinez 's tutorial on how to create new themes in Backpack v6, it'd be interesting to create a new theme with plain Bootstrap styles - like the ones in the examples here - https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/examples/
The point being that we could use this basic theme:
- either as the ultimate fallback to other themes (Tabler, CoreUIv4)
- OR as a starting point for any new themes
Please don't go overboard @promatik 😀 The point for this isn't to change theme file structure, but to review the tutorial and our whole theming architecture and process. We could (or maybe should) change file structure, I know... but that's a whole separate thing.
Our goal with the tutorial: anybody to be able to create a new Backpack theme... in under 5 hours.

Here the steps to do it!
Update:
- we now have better steps to do it in https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/add-ons-tutorial-how-to-create-a-theme
- I've create a Bootstrap theme, just to test the process; here's the zip for it - theme-bootstrap.zip
And you know what... I kind of like it:
It's very minimalistic. Of course, it needs quite a bit of polish in terms of looks. Needs someone to spice it up with extra CSS. THEN we can actually use this theme - we can recommend people use this as the fallback theme instead of CoreUIv4, because it's the simplest.
Can't continue working on this right now though... we have a v6 to launch TO.DAY! 🎉💪
We'll continue next week, after launch. Creating this has proven our theming system is OK. Which is all we needed to do right before launch.
