Using the New CSS Designer panel in Dreamweaver CC

Dreamweaver CSS Designer Panel

The CSS features in the newest version of Adobe Dreamweaver have been completely revamped.

The biggest change to the newest version of Dreamweaver is the consolidation of all of the features for creating and editing Cascading Style Sheets.

The new CSS Designer Panel, shown in the right-hand side of this image, provides access to all of the features you’ll need to create, manage, and edit Cascading Style Sheets in one place in Dreamweaver.

If you’re looking for any of the other CSS dialogs that were included in previous versions, you won’t find them, although you can still create, edit, and apply styles using the Property Inspector, which is docked at the bottom of the workspace.

Although the new CSS Designer panel takes some getting used to, it does provide a more efficient workflow because all of the features are in one place, and it includes a few nice additions, including the visual representation of padding and margins.

    Thank you. I could not find where I could create another style for text.

What others say…

"HTML was hard enough, but CSS was really making my head hurt...

So many CSS references seem like they're designed for people who already understand CSS. Then I found your videos.

You broke it down and got me up to speed on the basics so quickly. It all makes so much more sense now. Thank you!"

I have been buried in your CSS tutorials for the past week. Your teaching method is excellent!

I wanted to pass on a success story. Last evening, a new global customer called with an issue with their Dreamweaver site. The original author of the site was long gone and they had several companies take a look at the problem, but to no avail. They had a problem where many linked pages based on a template were not getting updated - there were 257 pages affected.

I recalled your troubleshooting tip to make sure all pages were published after updating a template. Your advice was right on target.

You are my hero - and now I am theirs! Thank you for presenting such an outstanding set of training classes!"
