I need a light css editor with certain functions. Already downloaded and tried a few apps but still no luck, none of them fit my requirements. Actually, there is one, CssEdit (or TextMate), but unfortunately i'm a windows user...
Already tried:
built-in NetBeans IDE css editor (btw nice editor, the one i'm using now for css)
IntelJ IDE (very good html and css editor, but using the entire ide just for this - that's crazy)
ArduoCss (very buggy in win7 environment)
Notepad
Notepad++ (it rules, but as i said, i need something more functional for css editing)
Style Master ( if i don't find anything else, probably i'll choose this one)
Stylizer ( also might be my choice, but it's black interface kills me, also extremy noob-oriented, i even couldn't find a way to see the source code)
Some of the features i am looking for:
grouping by comments like here
snippets
autocomplete,
if i type for instance f-s, it should recognize and expand it to "font-size" property
color picker
The editor must have at least the first feature that i listed above.
Sorry for my poor english.
This is the closest thing to TextMate on the windows platform that I know of:
http://www.e-texteditor.com/
Check out TopStyle v4 - excellent Windows CSS (and HTML) editor. Great product, well worth its registration price.
Have a look at Zen Coding. It's a plug-in for several diferent editors adding helpful functionality for CSS (and HTML) coding.

You can switch Stylizer's black interface to the white interface with CTRL + F10. Also, the Stylizer philosophy is setup differently that you don't need to see the "source code"...it's interface is just a graphical representation of the source code.

Is there a way to use CSS outside of the browser? Let's say I wanted to use it on creating desktop apps for Windows, Mac OSX or any other operating system.
Yes CSS is Often Used Outside of a Browser
Yes. When people develop with apps such as React, we use CSS and SCSS just like you would on a webpage.
Below is a sample of using CSS with React using JavaScript
Your question is very unspecific regarding e.g. the programming language you want to use. There are a lot of frameworks out there used to create desktop frontends. Some of them also use CSS-like notation to define their look, such as JavaFx.
But if your target is to create a webpage that runs in both browser and as native desktop app, I guess the best way is to run a browser engine inside your app.
Edit to answer your comment: It's not dependent on the programming language but related to the framework you use. Every framework works a bit differently here but some use the CSS notation. But as StackOverflow is not the place to ask for a list of frameworks I would recommend you to do some research on your own.

I'm looking for automated tools to help me refactor a bunch of CSS files, for example:
Remove unnecessary selectors (e.g. not used inside the page)
detect repeatable rules inside several selectors and suggest a merge
Are there any such tools?
Thanks!
Yes Google Page Speed does this CSS investigation. Link:
http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/overview.html
not totally automated, but this one works well.
I like the fact that I can see what I'm changing. While I've done UI for 15 years, there's always little things that I notice myself repeating via using this tool. In the long run, doing things a bit manually is going to make me a better developer.
Doing one that looks for unnecessary selectors is a dangerous game. You could do it, but if you ever find yourself doing dynamic and/or ajax injected divs, you'll immediately blow up your page or app using an automated tool. If you do it, make sure it's not something that works on the fly, without some sort of very good testing environment to verify the resulting output. My current corporate clients would never allow me to use any sort of point-of-request tool based on their requirements of 100% tested and verified CSS.
This tool can do automatic css refactoring, though its value in project still need to evaluate carefully.

I'm developing an application using GWT. Though GWT is a JAVA based medium, the look and feel could only be enriched via CSS. I was wondering if there is some site, where I could download CSS that could make my app look better. Also I was thinking if GWT supports templates/themes unlike Drupal/Joomla. If it does support,is there some place where I could make use of existing templates? Being a developer, I feel the application is not appealing to the user. For instance, I'm using TabLayoutPanel to imitate the menus. But, they doesn't actually look like a menubar. Also the entire application would take only a little amount of screen space. I want the application to fill the entire screen size. Is there any way to solve the above problems??
Thanks in advance.
Like TxANG mentioned, you can use the theme generator. Working demo here http://gwt-theme-generator.appspot.com/
For full screen (all available browser space), use DockLayoutPanel
Im afraid there is no template/theme like in php because there is no predefined skeleton pages (in fact, there is no usual "pages"). All styling have to be done through CSS. If you want to generate a new CSS using different colors, there is a generator page that can help you.
Answer for your second question - Use RootLayoutPanel instead of RootPanel. And then add DockLayoutPanel to it. The center panel of the DocLayoutPanel occupies all available space in the browser.
Try Vaadin :)
http://vaadin.com/home
Showcase : http://demo.vaadin.com/sampler
Hope you like the look and feel, this framework build over GWT. You can extend the native GWT classes.

A web page is usually consist of several areas, header, content, sidebar, footer, and can be more detailed, navigation, logo, slider, widgets...
I use comments to mark these areas in css file, as many others do. And used to scrolling or by search to locate the area while editing the css, it is slow and inconvenient especially when css file grows big.
Is there a css editor can recognize comments and produce an index table for quickly jump from one to another?
Netbeans has CSS selector jump support.
It indexes the CSS file you're working with and lets you choose which selector you want to jump to.
When you're editing HTML you can CTRL+click on the class or id to jump to the CSS rule that styles it (if there are several you get a list).
Here's an example:
Unfortunately, these Netbeans features will completely ignore your comments. I haven't come across a tool that does exactly what you're describing for CSS files.
If you were using a programming language you would probably use Javadoc-style comments, but these aren't typically used in CSS. You may be able to find a tool that will parse them and build an index anyway, but I'm afraid I can't suggest one.
Why not using separate css-files and then glue them in one file with ant? If you are using Eclipse - ant is already there. Or you can use ant as a command line tool.
Try it. You can perform other tasks with ant. For example you can minimize your .css or .js files as well.

I am looking for a tool which can edit asp.net pages and supports intellisense. I know several tools like Web Developer Express but I am looking more lightly softwares and of course it must be free because I am not that rich to pay money to a software :) and if it was open source,it'd be more great (:
If you knew any and shared it with me,it'd be great.
Thanks in advance.
Free
Light
Supports Intellisense, Syntax Highlighting and Code Formatting
For Asp.NET
(Optional) Open Source
These are the requirement that I want the software to does have :)
Sorry for wanting so much things.. :)
You could try notepad++ and set it to c#/vb. You won't get auto complete but you will have a light text editor with syntax highlighting. I could be wrong, but I believe the only free tools with everything you want are the VS Express IDEs that MS offers.
MonoDevelop is a IDE for C#/.Net on Linux, but it sounds like it might suit your needs.
Here's the link: http://monodevelop.com/
Here is another list from archive.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/20071217202115/http://www.dotnetcoders.com/web/Articles/ShowArticle.aspx?article=49
You have some very particular requirements. They are not unreasonable but I'm not sure you will find all of those things and FREE. If you have the skills and/or desire, maybe you should consider building the tool you want for yourself.
Intellisense, syntax highlighting, and code formatting, particularly in multi-context files like those used in ASP.NET, are precisely why the available editors aren't terribly lightweight.
If you can give up perfect syntax highlighting and complete Intellisense, I recommend using a general-purpose programmer's editor such as UltraEdit, which is inexpensive and very fast. UE doesn't force you to bundle your source code into "solutions," has powerful search and replace, etc.
But on the flip side, for that extra speed, the highlighting and other fancy features are implemented using pattern recognition, not true behind-the-scenes compilation or interpretation of your code. So it can highlight certain words, recognize comment blocks, etc., but it doesn't have the ability to follow along and provide object-specific Intellisense, etc.
