Bootstrap 3: How to set default grid to 960px width? - less

I'm working with Bootstrap 3 and the client wants the website container width to be set to 960px. Do I directly edit the CSS file or what is the best way to do this? I heard something about "Less". Do I customize the download? Thanks!
Update: the site does NOT need to be responsive, so I can disable that responsive-ness and just add the 960px width to the CSS and be done with it or does this cause problems elsewhere?


For Bootstrap3, you can customize it to get 960px by default (http://getbootstrap.com/customize/)
change #container-large-desktop from ((1140px + #grid-gutter-width)) to ((940px + #grid-gutter-width)).
change #grid-gutter-width from 30px to 20px.
then download your custom version of bootstrap and use it. It should be 960px by default now.


I wanted the max width to be 810px, so I used a media query like this:
#media (min-width: 811px) {
.container{
width:810px;
}
}


Bootstraps gridsystem is FLUID. This means it works in percentages.
So just set a width to page wrapper, and you are ready to go
HTML:
<body>
<div class="page-wrapper">
<!-- Your bootstrap grid/page markup here -->
</div>
</body>
CSS:
.page-wrapper {
width: 960px; /* Your page width */
margin: 0 auto; /* To center your page within the body */
}


The easiest way is to wrap everything in a container like this..
.container-fixed {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 960px;
}

Or, you can go with LESS/custom build: http://getbootstrap.com/customize/

Bootstrap select inside modal don't show properly

Here is the fiddle. I've put a Select box as sample. It seems that it can't be shown inside modal. How can be it solved?
...................................................Update.....................................
To solve this, I've added this CSS:
.bootstrap-select.btn-group .dropdown-menu.inner {
position: static;
}
Now, the Select-Option are showing, but it seems that the dropdown taking the real space which increasing the height of popup. But, I expect dropdown will cross the popup window if the height of dropdown is much. How can I make it?
Updated Fiddle

See the updated jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mijopabe/gj9axc18/5/ You need to add this to your CSS:
.modal { overflow: visible; }
.modal-body { overflow-y: visible !important; }
I also took the liberty of including the plugins corresponding CSS file from a CDN:
//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.6.3/css/bootstrap-select.css

Adjust Prestashop theme to autoresize

I'm using Prestashop for a a project but it doesn't display correctly in the mobile version. I managed to find out that it's to do wth the grid system and I think I can amend the global CSS file to include the stack overflow?
As far as I can tell it's a set size.
I don't know any coding so if you could help me that would be much appreciated.
/* columns */
#columns {
overflow: hidden;
background: url(../img/black/columnsBg.jpg) repeat-x;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
text-align:center;
}
.columnsInner {
width: 980px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:left;
}

if you use the prestashop default theme means its not responsive. so you can try prestashop mobile theme.
go to "Preferences > Themes"
under this you will have a option called "Enable the mobile theme."
you can enable your options there.
try this and let me know.

Bootstrap 3 - Set Container Width to 940px Maximum for Desktops?

I am adding a whole new section to a website using Twitter Bootstrap 3, however the container cannot go wider than 940px in total for Desktop - as it will throw out the Header and Footer {includes}.
So 940px works out at 12 x 60 = 720px for the columns and 11 x 20 = 220px for the gutters. Fair enough, but how do you input these into Bootstrap 3 as there is 'no' #ColumnWidth field/setting in the Customize section?
I have tried by setting the #container-lg-desktop and #container-desktop both to 940px - but it doesn't work.

There is a far easier solution (IMO) in Bootstrap 3 that does not require you to compile any custom LESS. You just have to leverage the cascade in "Cascading Style Sheets."
Set up your CSS loading like so...
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/bootstrap.css" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" />
Where /css/custom.css is your unique style definitions. Inside that file, add the following definition...
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
.container {
width: 970px;
}
}
This will override Bootstrap's default width: 1170px setting when the viewport is 1200px or bigger.
Tested in Bootstrap 3.0.2

In the first place consider the Small grid, see: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-options. A max container width of 750 px will maybe to small for you (also read: Why does Bootstrap 3 force the container width to certain sizes?)
When using the Small grid use media queries to set the max-container width:
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.container {
max-width: 750px;
}
}
Second also read this question: Bootstrap 3 - 940px width grid?, possible duplicate?
12 x 60 = 720px for the columns and 11 x 20 = 220px
there will also a gutter of 20px on both sides of the grid so 220 + 720 + 40 makes 980px
there is 'no' #ColumnWidth
You colums width will be calculated dynamically based on your settings in variables.less.
you could set #grid-columns and #grid-gutter-width. The width of a column will be set as a percentage via grid.less in mixins.less:
.calc-grid(#index, #class, #type) when (#type = width) {
.col-#{class}-#{index} {
width: percentage((#index / #grid-columns));
}
}
update
Set #grid-gutter-width to 20px;, #container-desktop: 940px;, #container-large-desktop: #container-desktop and recompile bootstrap.

The best option is to use the original LESS version of bootstrap (get it from github).
Open variables.less and look for // Media queries breakpoints
Find this code and change the breakpoint value:
// Large screen / wide desktop
#screen-lg: 1200px; // change this
#screen-lg-desktop: #screen-lg;
Change it to 9999px for example, and this will prevent the breakpoint to be reached, so your site will always load the previous media query which has 940px container

If you don't wish to compile bootstrap, copy the following and insert it in your custom css file. It's not recommended to change the original bootstrap css file. Also, you won't be able to modify the bootstrap original css if you are loading it from a cdn.
Paste this in your custom css file:
#media (min-width:992px)
{
.container{width:960px}
}
#media (min-width:1200px)
{
.container{width:960px}
}
I am here setting my container to 960px for anything that can accommodate it, and keeping the rest media sizes to default values. You can set it to 940px for this problem.

If if doesn't work then use "!Important"
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
.container {
width: 970px !important;
}
}

Custom themed header bar in jQuery Mobile

I have a simple question. I want to style the header bar in jQuery mobile. Specifically I want to set the height of the bar and add a background image to it. How can I do that?
Thank you in advance

This is how I handled it. Instead of actually putting an H1 inside the data-role="header", just directly insert a
<div class="ui-title"></div>
and then add something like this to your custom CSS.
.ui-header .ui-title{
margin: 0.3em 70px 0.7em 10px;
background-image:url(../images/logo-page.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:0 0px;
width:178px;
height:40px;
}
