While working on a larger project, I decided to clean up some of my tools that I use to quickly code sites. Out of that came what I'm calling Bootstrap, a collection of LESS mixins and variables to make any designer's or developer's life just a little bit easier. Should be released by Monday.
Colin, yes, I have. Bootstrap is similar, but features my own take on some similar mixins, plus new ones, and some basic variables. Nothing too crazy, but something I've been using for a long time now.
Looks great Mark! I love the fixed gradient background you have going on there :) Purty.
I've written all this stuff in LESS too, but it's awesome to have it one place. I'd like to see some additions with the options for vertical vs horizontal vs radial gradients; the best benefit of LESS imo is doing all the browser-specific syntax for you.
I wrote some mixins to colorize backgrounds and borders. You can pass in a defined color variable, and LESS will pull out its HSL values, and then you can pass in an alpha value so its transparency can change on demand. Allows for using variables + transparent borders, etc. Ping me and I'll show it to you if that seems like something you'd want to add.

Have you seen lesselements.com?
My co-worker and I made our own mixin library before finding Dmitry's. Does yours contain anything different?
