2. Usage

I made a Yii extension from the Drupal modul Live CSS.

The original author of the Drupal modul was Guy Bedford. Many thanks him for his great tool!

This extension can edit and save the CSS/LESS files in the clients browser.

If you want to edit LESS stylesheets disable the server-side compiler LESS extension!

Tested with ¶
