 * Hello,
 * What CSS editors do you recommend for building/modifying WordPress themes? I 
   have some coding knowledge, but I’d like to be able to build a theme the way 
   I want it. Any suggestions?
 * Thank you.

 * Dashboard –> Appearance –> Edit
 * Failing that, if you don’t like minimal or want to do your changes offline, any
   text editor that understands the .css file extension. I use gEdit. No frills.
   Just syntax highlighting.
 * Cheers

 * I use [Vim](http://www.vim.org/), but it may not be your cup of tea. In this 
   case you can try [notepad++](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/).

 * TextPad comes with syntax highlighting for multiple file types – including PHP,
   HTML & CSS.

 * Thanks for the suggestions. What about programs for coding beginners?

 * Same. If you’re looking for something WYSIWYG for CSS, forget it.
 * At least, that’s my opinion. If you want to mess with CSS, you’ve got to learn
   CSS. I don’t think there are any satisfactory shortcuts.
 * Others may disagree though.
 * Cheers
