This is kind of where the old world bumps up against the new world. Bootstrap was never designed to work with Web Components so it's not easy to shoehorn it in.
It sounds like what you want is for an element to know about and style its internal structure, but externally you should be able to easily theme these things so they look cohesive (probably by using /deep/). I don't think there's a quick fix way to go about that. Bootstrap (and libraries like it) will need to be rewritten to work in that model. FWIW, we talk about this exact issue _a lot_ and we're trying to come up with good strategies to deal with it. So definitely don't take this as dismissal in any way. It's just a tough nut to crack ;) On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 8:30 AM, Douglas Hubler <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm in the exact same situation with Polymer and Bootstrap in fact.
