Viewing Style Sheets side by side

Postby kimdavis » Wed Jul 07, 2010 10:50 pm

Is there a topstyle feature that will enable me to compare 2 style sheets at once?

It doesn't seem to let me open 2 instances of the program. Why can't I do this? I can pretty well open any other program twice except my email application.

Flipping between my 2 sheets with the tabs is very unhelpful with what I am trying to do right now.

Maybe there is a layout or view that does this? Does anyone have a suggestion short of printing them both out?

Or is this a feature request?

I assume you would like to compare the output. In that case, select View > Full Screen Preview (F12), then click the "dual preview" button, then decide what browser(s) you would like to compare.

If, on the other hand, you would like to compare the CSS document itself, open 2 CSS documents and then select View > Split > Dual Editors. Then both CSS documents should appear side-by-side.

Because TopStyle 4 has a multiple-document interface where you can open multiple documents, and then every document is opened in a new tab.

Use the dual editors feature as described above.

Thanks, Stefan.
