The power of styling is now in your hands. BluePen can be easily installed even on a dynamic website. Once you have installed it, you can make your style sheet modifications anytime, anywhere. Everything you modify will be updated real-time in your browser (but not on the live website yet). The modifications will be published right after you’ve pressed the ‘Save’ button.
If an element is selected, BluePen offers you a selector with the highest specificity value possible. You can edit this selector, or create a completely new one. It doesn’t matter which type your website is. If it runs on PHP, uses external CSS files and you have file access, bluePen should handle it. So it can be based on Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Magento or pretty much any CMS system in the world.

Admit it, 3D is cool. But, you know what’s cooler? 2D. I love WebGL, but unfortunately it doesn’t work everywhere. Flat Surface Shader is a lighting simulation, which can be configured to use either the 2D context of a canvas element or an array of SVG polygons to draw the triangles. It also utilises native Float32Arrays to store numerical data for highly optimised calculations. You can export the image once you have done.
