Way to choose a "default" navbar of a Bootstrap Material theme? - html

Question

I'm using the Bootstrap Material Design Template for a website. It has three different colored navbars of which I want to use the last one. But I'm unsure how to use that last one. Do I need to manually change the color of the navbar, or can I change one thing somewhere so that the color of all the buttons and radio buttons also changes?
I found a piece on the github page which points out how to change the primary color to a cusom one. But I don't want that, I simply want to use the blue color which you see in the third navbar option here.
Any ideas how I can do that? All tips are welcome!

Actually you just have to use different classes for change in colors, by default a Bootstrap theme have navbar-default and navbar-inverse
But in the very theme you're using have a class called navbar-material-light-blue-300 which needs to be added in following manner.
<div class="navbar navbar-material-light-blue-300">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-material-light-blue-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="javascript:void(0)">Brand</a>
</div>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-material-light-blue-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Active</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li class="dropdown-header">Dropdown header</li>
<li>Separated link</li>
<li>One more separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left">
<input type="text" class="form-control col-lg-8" placeholder="Search">
</form>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Link</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Happy Coding :)

.navbar-inverse is the class that affecting its color.
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse">
....
</div>
Other two above than the third have .navbar-default and .navbar-warning classes respectively.
Use below code:
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-inverse-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="javascript:void(0)">Brand</a>
</div>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-inverse-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Active
</li>
<li>Link
</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action
</li>
<li>Another action
</li>
<li>Something else here
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li class="dropdown-header">Dropdown header</li>
<li>Separated link
</li>
<li>One more separated link
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left">
<input class="form-control col-lg-8" placeholder="Search" type="text">
</form>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Link
</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action
</li>
<li>Another action
</li>
<li>Something else here
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
