Definition file editor for CSS

With the CSS definition file editor, you can modify or extend the CSS definition that Spider uses in the dynamic tooltip functions and on the Programming Languages tab. To access the CSS definition file editor, use the CSS definition file editor command, which is located in the main menu. You can also launch it using the button located in the program's settings in the Facilitation, dynamic attributes, other category or in the menu. The button is shown above.
