Reading the manual it seems that Bootstrap themes can be used in the new template engine.

Bootstrap theme: here, you can choose a Bootstrap theme to load. They come from Bootswatch bootswatch.com/3/


Am I right to assume that LS now lets you upload a bootstrap theme in order to create a new survey theme?

it was already the case in 2.x
btw: I'd like to add a CDN option for bootswatch themes (knowing that fonts in those themes are already using CDN, not local server)

also, for people interested to know how to create a theme from a custom bootstrap theme called custom.css:

just extends vanilla, or any other template, and in the XML file replace:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...a/config.xml#L64-L66
Code:
        <!-- If empty, bootstrap css/js files will not be loaded. In the future, we may have more engines, like foundation -->
        <cssframework>
            <name>bootstrap</name>
        </cssframework>


by something like:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...h/config.xml#L61-L64
Code:
        <!-- If empty, bootstrap css/js files will not be loaded. In the future, we may have more engines, like foundation -->
        <cssframework>
            <name>bootstrap</name>
            <css replace="css/bootstrap.css">css/variations/mycustom.css</css>
        </cssframework>


Then to create a list of custom themes that your users can choose inside of the template options, you can have a look to what we did for bootswatch/fruity options.

You should alsto try to create your own option page looks and feels.
