I'm using twitter bootstrap with less cloned from github. I want to set grid width variables because I need a 960px fixed layout. Default values for 940px width are:
@gridColumns: 12;
@gridColumnWidth: 60px;
@gridGutterWidth: 20px;
What values I should set for a fixed 960px layout?
I tried with this, but result was 950px:
@gridColumns: 12;
@gridColumnWidth: 70px;
@gridGutterWidth: 10px;
Solve the equation
You need to find a solution(s) for the equasion. One of them is:
@gridColumns: 12;
@gridColumnWidth: 69px;
@gridGutterWidth: 12px;
another one:
@gridColumns: 12;
@gridColumnWidth: 58px;
@gridGutterWidth: 24px;
But use default
Bootstrap was designed for 960px width, it just doesn't specify additional margin/padding on the sides:
| ------------------------------ 960px width ---------------------------------- |
10px left margin | ------------- 940px container ------------ | 10px right margin
So I suggest you to use the default values, if you are targeting 960px.
You could always make a 960px container and use fluid.
