You can resize either pane by dragging the border between the panes, and can resize the Properties columns by dragging
their divider.

When you select a rule in the All Rules pane, all of the properties that are defined in that rule appear in the Properties
pane. You can then use the Properties pane to quickly modify your CSS, whether it is embedded in the current
document or linked in an attached style sheet. By default, the Properties pane shows only those properties that have
been previously set, and arranges them in alphabetical order.

You can choose to display properties in two other views. Category view displays properties grouped into categories,
such as Font, Background, Block, Border, and so on, with set properties at the top of each category. List view displays
an alphabetical list of all available properties, and likewise sorts set properties to the top. To switch between views, click
the Show Category View, Show List View, or Show Only Set Properties button, located at the lower-left corner of the
Properties pane. In all views, set properties are displayed in blue.

Any changes you make in the Properties pane are applied immediately, letting you preview your work as you go.

CSS Styles panel buttons and views

In both All and Current modes, the CSS Styles panel contains three buttons that let you alter the view in the Properties
pane (the bottom pane):

Category View

border, box, list, positioning, and extensions. Each category’s properties are contained in a list that you expand or
collapse by clicking the Plus (+) button next to the category name. Set properties appear (in blue) at the top of the list.

List View

blue) at the top of the list.
