This seems to make sense, but it would be good to know why it was done the other way in the first place. If there's a good reason for that then maybe both should be available via settings tickbox.
(Does this "logo" only show up on the front page? It seems to be more of a "banner" than a logo. For a Bootstrap theme you'd perhaps want to think about putting the logo in the banner (like this very site does with it's new theme).

I have to admit that I'm not overly familiar with the Awesome bar, but speaking from that point of ignorance it seems to me that it might be easier to get the functionality provided by the Awesome bar in Essential (and/or other Bootstrap based themes) than to actually import the Awesomebar code itself.
In fact (and again I could be wrong) it seems like many of these functions are already being added by various themes e.g. the Elegance theme has a little user dropdown menu that seems to have some overlap.
Could you describe the key things that you're looking for, how they work and who they're aimed at (e.g. site administrators or students). I've looked a few times to find some article or documentation that briefly introduces the Awesome bar but not found anything particularly useful yet.

For basic hiding/showing you can use some utility classes like .visible-phone or .hidden-desktop (scroll right down):

Though they're for more basic tasks like hiding/showing things completely at different screen sizes, to apply different custom CSS at each size Tim's suggestion is the way to go.

I don't remember writing that, is something weird going on, or is my memory playing tricks with me?
Hi Kimber,
Bootstrap itself supports IE7 (or at least it did in version 2.3 which is what the Clean theme in 2.6 is based on). There was at least some work done to make the Clean theme work with IE7, but I would assume that it's generally gone untested for the last 6 months or so. Does your question mean that you've tried it and it didn't work in iE7?
An upgrade to IE8 would be an alternative (though not as good as any modern, fast, safe browser) that I hope would be achievable. Were you given any reason why this has not been done already?
As to your question of Bootstrap vs responsive, one of Bootstrap's qualities is that it is responsive, so it's a bit like asking Ferrari vs fast. There is at least one theme that is responsive without being based on Bootstrap, though generally the technology used to make sites responsive ("media queries" mostly) doesn't work on IE7 (or 8), and is only really needed on mobile devices like iPads or iPhones anyway. So if your students are stuck on lab computers running IE7 or even Chrome then I don't think any responsive theme is going to provide you with any benefits.
Having said that, Bootstrap has some other qualities beyond responsiveness that might make it worth your while, even for predominantly desktop use (mostly based on the way it looks and using Bootstrap tools to help build your custom theme and content).
