Reset Style Sheet with Twitter Bootstrap

With Bootstrap 2, the old reset block has been dropped in favor of Normalize.css, that also powers the HTML5 Boilerplate. Normalize.css makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards and it precisely targets only the styles that need normalizing.

Easiest Way to Reset Bootstrap CSS attributes?

You can do it in the following way :

Create a new css file and place it after the bootstrap.css file so that it can override any default property you dont wanna use .Like the example below :-

   <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.0/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
   <link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

Now to remove any background box-shadow or border property and border-radius, on your navbar you can do the following :

.navbar-inner{
 background:none;
 filter:none;
 box-shadow:none;
 border-radius:0px;
 border:none;
}

To customize navbar links, you can do the following(set any values here or any new property here will override the default) :

.navbar .nav > li > a{

    padding:5px;
text-shadow:none;
  }

To customize hover and on focus styles :

.navbar .nav > li > a:focus,
.navbar .nav > li > a:hover {
     color: #333333;
     text-decoration: none;
     background-color: transparent;
 }

To customize active class for links :

.navbar .nav .active > a{
color:#ccc;
background:none;
box-shadow:none;
   }

 .navbar .nav .active > a:hover{
background:none;
box-shadow:none;
   }

Override and reset all the specifications in a CSS rule

You can create a bootstrap reset rule for each of the elements you'd like to reset. So with <pre>, you'd create something like:

@import url('//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css'); pre.reset {  /* defaults */  display: block;  font-family: monospace;  white-space: pre;  margin: 1em 0px;     /* bootstrap overrides */  padding: initial;  line-height: initial;  color: initial;  background-color: initial;  border: initial;  overflow: initial;  word-break: initial;  word-wrap: initial;  border-radius: initial;}

<pre>    With bootstrap</pre>
<pre class='reset'>    Without bootstrap</pre>
