Style tools

The Style tab lists every visual property of the selected element as a set of tools, grouped by topic. Each tool is a collapsible section; each property inside it is one row.

Layout

PartDescription
Rule selectorDropdown at the top. Chooses what the tools edit: Style (the element’s effective style), Inline Style, or one matched CSS rule.
State buttonSquare button next to the rule selector. Forces a state such as :hover. See Element state.
Search boxFilters tools by tool name, group name, or CSS property. While a search is active, every matching tool is expanded.
Group headingSmall uppercase label above a set of related tools (Typography, Effects, …).
Tool headerClick to expand or collapse. A number badge shows how many of the tool’s properties are set on the current target. Open tools stay open when you switch elements.

Property row

Every property row has the same parts.

PartDescription
LabelProperty name. Bold when the property is set. Hover to see the exact CSS property names.
InputThe control for the value. See Style controls.
⋯Sets the property to a CSS-wide keyword: inherit, initial, unset, or revert. While a keyword is set, the input is replaced by a keyword × button; click it to clear the keyword.
×Removes the property. Disabled when the property isn’t set.
Source dotOnly on the Style target. Shows where the value comes from: the accent color for inline, green for a CSS rule, faded when the property isn’t set. Click to move the value to inline, another matching rule, or a new class. The rule list has its own search box.

Rows that edit several properties at once (box editors, the border tool) remove all of them with × and have no source dot.

Undo

Each committed change is one undo step. Dragging a slider, a color, a curve handle or a scrub handle is recorded as a single step for the whole drag.

Raw CSSAny property. Lists every property set on the target as an editable property: value line, with a line at the bottom to add a new property.

Values shown

On the Style target, each row shows the browser’s resolved value for properties that are set anywhere (inline or in a rule). Some resolved values look different from what was typed — for example a transform is shown as matrix(…). On Inline Style and rule targets, rows show the value exactly as written.

When several elements are selected, a row shows a value only if every selected element has the same one.
