Bootswatch 4 plus five new themes
We’re pleased to announce that Bootswatch has been updated for Bootstrap version 4.0.0-beta.2.
The update introduces a slew of changes to the underlying Bootstrap framework, including simplified markup, a jump from LESS to SASS, the addition and subtraction of several components. You can see a rundown of Bootstrap 4′s changes here.
Bootswatch themes have been updated to keep in step with Bootstrap and are available today! And if you’re not ready to make the big leap just yet, themes for v3 remain available.
As if that’s not exciting enough, five brand new themes are being released.
Lux is a restrained theme for when your site needs a touch of class.
Minty is a theme for when your site needs a fun and approachable feel.
Pulse is a general theme with a trace of purple that runs throughout.
Sketchy has a hand-drawn look suitable for mockups or playful sites in general.
Solar is a spin on the Solarized color scheme used in many code editors. Turns out it makes for a nice web theme as well.
Lastly, old favorite Paper has been renamed to Materia, to better reflect its roots, and Readable has a spiritual successor in Litera.
Moving from v3 to v4 is a major undertaking, with many hours spent making it happen. And the latest additions bring the grand total to 21 themes, all of which require ongoing maintenance.

We hope you enjoy the update!
