New theme - Flat

[jenil]

Hey Thomas!
I loved your project Bootswatch and to test it out I made a new theme 'Flat' which has colors and few styles based on the Flat UI pack by Designmodo.

Well I'd just like to contribute :)

Here's a peak

Hey Jenil, love the idea of a flat theme! What you have so far is great. Let's work together to make this happen, with all due credit to you. Some comments:

• A different name can make it much easier to search for. How about Flatness?
• Some of the overrides in bootswatch.less can be done more succinctly in variables.less. For instance, in variables.less, you can set the color variables and then use those to set button colors. This will reduce the size of the stylesheets and make maintenance easier.
• Alerts aren't styled, but this can also be done easily through variables.less.
• The base font-size could be bumped up by a couple of pixels.
• Color scheme is great, but the primary and success greens are similar. How about light gray for default buttons, blue (#33495E) for primary, green (#18BC9C) for success, and dark gray for inverse?
• For small and mini buttons, the font-size should be decreased, like they are for the split buttons.
• At least in the screenshot, there's some weirdness with the glyphs.

Otherwise, looks good! Let me know your thoughts on these. After some iteration, I can test the theme and then push it live.

Hey Thomas!
I'm glad you liked the theme!

• Flatness sounds great!
• Removes overides on buttons and they are now addes in variables.less
• Button and Navbar get new look
• Small and mini buttons getting smaller font
• Fixed duplicate icons issue
• Overall font size increased
• Alerts styles improved

Let me know how you like it!

@jenil27 Looks good, I'll probably make some minor changes to give consistency with the other themes, then add it to the front page.

@thomaspark Cool! You would have to updated the thumbnail. Also, I would be thankful to you if I had my name in the footer for this theme :)

Tweaked some styles, refactored/reformatted code to be consistent with other themes, and styled additional components (subnav, pagination, alerts, pager, responsive).

Also added your name as a credit on the preview page, and will mention it again on the blog announcement.

This new theme is really amazing, updating on NuGet right now! :)

Any reason to remove build, components, and .idea?
