4 | description: Customize Bootstrap with Sass variables, easily toggling global preferences with a quick recompile. | |
5 | group: getting-started | |
6 | --- | |
7 | ||
8 | Customize Bootstrap 4 with our built-in custom variables file and easily toggle global CSS preferences with new `$enable-*` Sass variables. Override a variable's value and recompile with the included Gruntfile as needed. | |
9 | ||
10 | ## Customizing variables | |
11 | ||
12 | Bootstrap 4 ships with a `_custom.scss` file for easy overriding of default variables in `/scss/_variables.scss`. Copy and paste relevant lines from there into the `_custom.scss` file, modify the values, and recompile your Sass to change our default values. **Be sure to remove the `!default` flag from override values.** | |
13 | ||
14 | For example, to change out the `background-color` and `color` for the `<body>`, you'd do the following: | |
15 | ||
16 | {% highlight scss %} | |
17 | // Bootstrap overrides | |
18 | // | |
19 | // Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values | |
20 | // without modifying source files. | |
21 | ||
22 | $body-bg: $gray-dark; | |
23 | $body-color: $gray-light; | |
24 | {% endhighlight %} | |
25 | ||
26 | Do the same for any variable you need to override, including the global options listed below. | |
27 | ||
28 | ## Global options | |
29 | ||
30 | You can find and customize these variables for key global options in our `_variables.scss` file. | |
31 | ||

41 | | `$enable-print-styles` | `true` (default) or `false` | Enables styles for optimizing printing. | |
