Kuler Dashboard Widget for OS X

I was browsing for some file for my Macbook a little while ago and came across this nice little utility. I dont remember anyone posting about this so I figured I would let you guys know about it just in case.

From the author:

"Kuler Dashboard Widget is a window into the world of Adobe Kuler - Adobe's newly updated web-based color theme search and share application.

This widget puts the latest and best color scheme's right at your fingertips, along with the hex values."

Its a cool widget for sure! It can be downloaded from this link: Kuler Dashboard Widget


CSSEditor For OSX... Best Editor I Have EVER Used!

One of the great things about switching over to my Macbook Pro for development is that it opens up a whole new world of Software Development tools that arent available on Windows or Linux. And the thing that I just cant get over is how polished these applications are, especially for the price!

I was looking for a good CSS editor for OS X a week or so ago when I came accross CSSEdit. This is by far the best most user friendly CSS editor I have EVER used on any platform. And its only $29.95 to boot!! Believe me, thats a steal for the amount of feature this application has.

One of my favorite features is the live edit/preview feature. I can open the preview window to my URL, either pull in the CSS file from the website or open the corresponding file from my computer, then make changes and view the changes in real-time in the preview window! This comes in really handy if you want to try out some CSS tweaks on a live site without affecting any users.

It has code-completion like most editors if you are writing the CSS by hand, it has very intuitive visual editors to help you set the attributes you want without even writing the CSS code. This comes in vary handy when you cant remember the name of an attribute. The visual editors are grouped by their function so it makes it really easy to find the ones that you need.

It also had built-in version control and allows you to create milestones on the fly so you can feel free to tweak and try out new things on your site with the ability to back them out on the click of a button.

If you are developing on a Mac and do any kind of CSS editing at all, this will be the best $30 bucks you have ever spent!

There is a trial download available as well so feel free to take it for a spin, you owe it to yourself!


Holy Mollio!! Simple CSS for the Masses

If your like most typical developers, you are among the masses of the graphically challenged. How many applications have you written that may be incredible apps but the interface is just so so, or even worse, horrible?

Well, if that rings all to true for you, then Im here to tell you that there is hope. Thanks to the guys responsible for FarCry. They have released the CSS engine called Mollio as opensource under a variety of licenses to choose from.

Good 'ole IE.... *YUCK*

I just realized today that my styles are kinda messed up in IE6. I never use IE so I guess I failed to check the layout in it and the menus seem to be pused way to the bottom on the right hand side.

I guess I will work on tweaking the stylesheet to allow for IE's horrible rendering capabilities...

Updates coming soon....
