Guest gis100 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I'm a begginer and I'm creating my own skin for CC4. My methodology is slow: I edit the style sheets on Dreamweaver and then I upload to my server. On a second computer I refresh my store to watch the changues. There must be a faster metod than this (and even offline too). Any recommendation from the experts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I do this professionally, and I know of no better way. You could set up a local WAMP server on your computer, rather than upload the files, but for me it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Guest gis100 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Has anybody tested 'Top Style' or 'Style Master' to edit skins? It would be a better option than Dreamweaver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Going to check them out now. I hate CSS. It's so fiddly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjoe Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Have you considered Kompozer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I use Simple CSS. It is free and pretty easy to use. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to create a "Profile" for each .css file and you have to "Export" to save the changes to the .css file. If you make any changes outside the program, you have to delete the profile and re-import the .css file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest webicon Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 notepad :-) I can recommend this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cascading-Style-Sh...n/dp/159059231X Read cover to cover (will take about 5 hours) and you will understand all....

Guest degsey69 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I use editpad pro (the free version) but Komposer is great as well Degsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xpresso Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'd recommend Style Master from westciv, i use it all the time and the preview pane works with dynamic pages. Use this and the developer tools add on for firefox and you can't go wrong - well you can go wrong but you know what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wonderworks Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I use CSSEdit (on a mac) It displays the site live in a browser window and besides that you have a window with the css info and palets with all options. It updates the site live if you change the css file by overriding the css file with the local copy you are editing. Takes out all the guesswork and immediate feedback, excellent!
