Description

Adds outline to all elements on the page to show the culprit element which is changing desired layout

# Debug CSS

A lightweight extension for Google chrome to show outline of all the element exist on page.

while working on web page development the one of the difficult part is to position the element as required and check which element affecting the other one.

This chrome extension allows user to see outline on every element of the page. Hold the keyboard Ctrl button and hover element it will show the element details along with the value.

----------

# Usage

Post installation simply click on the extension icon to turn it On or Off.

If you are a keyboard shortcut lover like me simply hit `Alt+Shift+C ` key to toggle the extension.


----------

# How it works?

This extension works on CSS outline attribute:

add the below code snippet in any CSS of a web page


`
* {
outline: 1px solid red;
}`

The extension does the same the only thing is; it gives different color to different element(s) while the code snippet adds red outline to every element.

Works but if you aren't seeing the black bar at the bottom telling you what you're hovering on you have to inspect and under styles in the tools uncheck the visibility css attribute. For whatever reason it is defaulted to hidden. Very dumb.

I'm a Mac User. If anyone has an issue that feels not working/ hovering effect not works even Debug CSS active, You have to do a simple thing. Go to manage extension --> Turn ON "Allow access to file URLs".
