Modifying CSS in RT

Hello,

What’s the quickest way to get into modifying RT’s stylesheets if I’m
comfortable with CSS, but not with fast-cgi? In other words, what is
the best way to work with fast-cgi to make and test changes to RT’s CSS?

  1. Turn on devel mode:

    Set($DevelMode, 1)

in etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm.

  1. Run: bin/standalone_httpd 8080

  2. Point your browser at http://localhost:8080/ and flip back and forth
    between browser and editor.

Alternatively (a little more work), use Firefox and the Web Developer
extension to get CSS editing in-browser that renders on the fly (and
save it back to disk when you’re happy with it).
