When i started using bootstrap, I put in a bunch of colors and fonts into their Customize page, then downloaded what ends up being compiled css (from the less).

i've since lost whatever changes i put in there, and they seem to be spread throughout the code. Since it doesn't actually include the less customizations in the download, there doesn't appear to be a way to get the values i changed back out (to upgrade)

is there a utility out there that pulls the custom colors, fonts, sizes, etc out of bootstrap.css so i can reapply on a new version of bs? or better yet re-generate the less so i can keep it separate and compile new bs.css files as they bump versions

I don't know of any way to reverse-engineer custom settings from Bootstrap's resulting CSS. You can prevent having to re-specify custom settings each time Bootstrap updates, though. See stackoverflow.com/questions/13809895/… for details. –  Jeromy French Jan 8 '13 at 18:18
