As it looks like you are the "somebody" and what you did scares "someone", can you explain?

font-size: $badge-font-size;
padding: .1rem .3rem;
border-radius:0.3rem;

These can already be set by variables.

For things like badges, I'd suggest using the background utilities rather than defining badge-danger, badge-success, etc...:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/utilities/colors/#background-color

The badge SCSS is one example of unecessary bloat.

The same applies to the alerts. There's 6kb of MINIFIED CSS for the alerts alone, including the bootstrap ones, overrides and custom elements.

@C-Lodder for alerts specifically (same goes for tabs, tinyMCE etc...) the code is far worse. Reason: you already loading the specific CSS file (means one more http request was already done for this) and then the template overrides this files internally. The correct approach is to override the file by placing the css file in the template css directory. I guess this is very basic for anyone that did at least one website based on Joomla... In sort #FAIL

PS Charlie you remember all these talks about componentizing and modularizing the css? Well they did exactly the opposite. Forward thinking approach...

For things like badges, I'd suggest using the background utilities rather than defining badge-danger, badge-success, etc...:

Well until Bootstrap goes to using the background utility classes on their components, the component utility classes should still work adequately (basically, the less surprises there are between their documentation and the template implementation the better, sadly this isn't the first time I've found some awkward deviation from the Bootstrap documentation in this template).

@ALL Instead of "bitching" - roll up your sleeves

@brianteeman at least I've tried: #26014 You got to give me that...

Am I welcome in this repo again? Last I checked, I was on so many blacklists the blacklists had blacklists.

do we really have blacklists? i'm not aware of that and i should be the list keeper

Is this really still relevant. The template must have undergone at least two rewrites since then and changed to bootstrap 5

No imho
