On a 4.5 site running the most recent Drupal, I have to use the themekey module to make CiviCRM public facing pages use a different theme from the site default because of Bootstrap compatibility problems. (For admin stuff I'm using a non-bootstrap admin theme.)

The client really wants the public-facing part of the site to use the same bootstrap theme for all pages.

Is 4.6 have any better Bootstrap compatibility than 4.5?

4.7 should be, but not 4.6 as is. There was a GSoC student who worked on making CiviCRM more Bootstrap-friendly, unfortunately the patches were not merged in for 4.6.

I've started working on it again, based on Amilineni's work, but I'm slowly moving forward. If anyone beats me to it, I will be more than happy :)

So far, I've been trying to add a few classes to core forms (CRM/Core/Form.php), and try to see if we can override the CSS on buttons using Saas/Less, and perhaps moving a bit of CSS out of civicrm.css so that we can make it optional (to avoid loading extra CSS rules if we are using Bootstrap).
