The Bootstrap
The Bootstrap is a clean, friendly, modern WordPress Theme, with a great image and gallery handling, based on Bootstrap from Twitter.
The Bootstrap benefits from the responsive grid layout, that Bootstrap has to offer. So no matter from where your site is accessed, it will always display neatly on any device!
Header images with flexible heights
With v1.2.1, The Bootstrap supports header images with flexible heights, which [will be] introduced in WordPress 3.4. This gives you even more flexibility, when it comes to image headers and displaying your site name.
Other than WordPress users know their navigation bars, Bootstrap uses the parent element as a title for child elements, if there are any. Therefore the parent element can not be directly accessed through the navigation in this Theme.
Image carousel on Gallery Post Formats
With v1.2.3, the first ten images of a gallery will be shown in a slick image slider on overview pages, when the post is marked with the gallery post format. You can even implement you own carousel within posts or pages, when following the markup examples provided at the Bootstrap documentation!
