Hi @LowerSaxony. If I am working with Bootstrap and I want to change the colour of all links in the project I would add a new rule to my style.css file and change only the relevant parts, e.g.  
default style in bootstrap:  
a  
{  
color: #337ab7;  
text-decoration: none;  
}

my custom style:  
a  
{  
font-weight: bold;  
}

This would result in my link changing to display as #337a7, bold without underline. So if I decided I didn’t want the default color I would also add color: custom color; to my new rule for link elements like this:  
a  
{  
color: #e55555; /\* Orange Red \*/  
font-weight: bold;  
}

You only need to to this for the rules you want to change and you would be surprised how you can change the look of a framework just by changing a few rules.

I’ve previously posted about how I find the css rule that I want to change and how I change it in this [post.](http://forum.pinegrow.com/t/css-guide-chart-map-please/106/2?u=rob)
