However this module is not directly compatible with Bootstrap. To help you generate Bootstrap compliant flash messages, you can use [express-messages-bootstrap](https://github.com/JasonGiedymin/express-messages-bootstrap). Express-messages-bootstrap can also be [installed from the NPM repository](http://search.npmjs.org/#/express-messages-bootstrap). + + npm install express-messages-bootstrap + +On cygwin you may need to force and display logging. Verbosity for some reason prevents hanging. + + npm --force --loglevel verbose express-messages-bootstrap. + +## Bootstrap-thin +If Bootstrap in full is too much and you'd like to keep your existing layout (maybe you use LessFramework or any one of the hundred other grids out there) then this fork of Bootstrap called [Bootstrap-thin](https://github.com/JasonGiedymin/bootstrap). It takes out most of the layout and font sizing in specific places. This fork is actively maintained. \ No newline at end of file
