Just sharing some suggestions for CSS-related improvements to the Kendo team:
Include bootstrap themes for matching Kendo themes
Currently, us Bootstrap users are limited to using the Kendo Bootstrap theme with Bootstrap. We could create custom Bootstrap themes that matches the Kendo theme, but if Kendo did it, everyone would benefit. This could probably be implemented generically in LESS, so that the bootstrap theme variables are assigned from the Kendo theme variables -- then it could be applied to any Bootstrap theme.
Reorganize CSS files
It is currently quite confusing to determine which set of CSS files should be included for a given scenario. I have to refer to the documentation every time, and then be careful not to mistakenly use a similarly named file. Consider putting theme-specific files inside the associated theme folder.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
Thanks for your feedback.
With regard to the Bootstrap themes, so far we have not considered creating themes for a product, which is not ours, but we can do so if we see business value in it. For the time being, you (and all other interested developers) can do two things -
+ vote for such a "feature" in our feedback portal - http://kendoui-feedback.telerik.com/
+ create custom Bootstrap themes, which match our Kendo UI themes and submit them as code library entries - http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/kendo-ui. We will award Telerik points
With regard to our CSS files, they are logically separated into three groups: web, dataviz and mobile. The dataviz and mobile stylesheets contain the corresponding word in their name. The web stylesheets do not contain "web" in their name.
I am not sure I understood this part - "Consider putting theme-specific files inside the associated theme folder." - this is already done that way for the images. Or you would prefer the theme CSS files to also be placed in the theme folders?

Dimo
