.btn-link in .navbar-inverse is not white

Since there are the defaults for navbar-inverse are these one would expect the .btn-link to be $gray-light (the code works for regular links but not for .btn-links).

$navbar-inverse-link-color:                 $gray-light !default;
$navbar-inverse-link-hover-color:           #fff !default;
$navbar-inverse-link-hover-bg:              transparent !default;

A couple comments.

• The .btn-toolbar isn't meant for a .navbar. Use .navbar-btn OR wrap in a .navbar-form
• Usually .btn-link is used on a button element to make a button look like a link. There are some cases where you'd use in on a a tag but you can just use .navbar-link and forgo the .btn and .btn-link classes in most cases.
• In the case of a button.btn.btn-link in a navbar you can also add .navbar-link to get the correct colors.

I've updated your example to show this: http://jsfiddle.net/Supergibbs/mNgR6/

I agree it'd be nice to be able to use .btn-link in a .navbar-inverse and have the colors match without having to use btn btn-link navbar-link or even worse btn navbar-btn btn-link navbar-link

I'll take stab at that 😄
