About
=
Basically I like the _s WordPress Starter Theme from Automattic and the grid Framework Bootstrap. Additionally I´am a huge SASS fan. Why don´t combine all these three things into a solid WordPress Theme Framework?
That´s what UnderStrap is (or will be...)

Starter Theme + HTML Framework = WordPress Theme Framework
=
The _s theme is a good starting point to develope a WordPress theme. But it is "just" a raw starter theme. Means it outputs all the WordPress stuff correctly but without any layout or design.
Why don´t add a well known and supported layout framework to have a solid, clean and responsive foundation? Thats where Bootstrap comes in.
## Basic Features
Confused by all the CSS and SCSS files?
=
Some basics about the SCSS and CSS files comes with UnderStrap:
- The theme itself uses the style.css in the root directory just to identify the theme inside of WordPress. The file is not loaded by the theme and did not include any styles
- The theme.css file in /css/ subdirectory provides all styles. It is composed by five different SCSS sets and one variables file from /sass/theme.scss:
- Combines Underscores PHP/JS files and Bootstraps HTML/CSS/JS.
- Comes with Bootstrap (v3.3.6) Sass source files and additional .scss files. Nicely sorted and ready to add your own variables and customize the Bootstrap variables.
- Uses a single and minified CSS file for all the basic stuff.
- [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) integration (v4.5.0)
- Comes with extra slider script by [Owl Carousel](http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/) (v2.0.0-beta.2.4)

Some basics about the Sass and CSS files that come with UnderStrap:
- The theme itself uses the `/style.css`file just to identify the theme inside of WordPress. The file is not loaded by the theme and does not include any styles.
- The `/css/theme.css` file provides all styles. It is composed of five different SCSS sets and one variable file at `/sass/theme.scss`:
- 1 "theme/theme_variables"; // <--------- Add your variables into this file. Also add variables to overwrite Bootstrap or UnderStrap variables here
- 2 "../src/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap"; // <--------- All the Bootstrap stuff - Don´t edit this!

- Don´t edit the files no. 2-4 files/filesets or you aren´t able to update it without overwriting your own work!
- Your design goes into: /sass/theme directory. Add your styles to the theme.scss file and your variables to the _theme_variables.scss. Or add other scss files into it and @import it into theme.scss
- Dont edit the files no. 2-4 files/filesets or you wont be able to update it without overwriting your own work!
