This plugin is really powerful, really well coded and full of useful features. A big thank you to the developer. Let’s hope it keeps getting updated.

I do not often write reviews but I had to ! Your plugin is just awesome ! I can write SCSS directly, there’s a live editor… What else ? Amazing job ! I can not recommend more a plugin then this one.

I don’t use the Custom CSS tool, I do all my edits in the Theme Editor (I create custom themes, so I’m working in my own code, not something that will be overwritten by a theme update.) If this worked in the Theme Editor, it would indeed be the best plugin ever.

Was looking for this easy possibility to make structured css! Thanks Only one little question the icons from the font “codicon” are not working. Anything I can do to get that working?
