Updated angular2-webpack-starter modified to support the open source gentelella theme
The Gentelella Angular 7 project merges the elegant Gentelella free Bootstrap theme with the robustness of Angular, offering a solid foundation for web applications. While it initially attempted to utilize Bootstrap 4, the project reverted to Bootstrap 3 to avoid formatting issues that can disrupt the user interface experience. This configuration, alongside the choice to directly import legacy jQuery libraries, creates a unique blend of modern Angular features and traditional UI elements.

Despite these obstacles, the setup allows for development flexibility, leveraging the Angular CLI for efficient project management and code scaffolding.
