A CSS live Editor that allows you to preview realtime CSS changes and then save your changes. 
It saves dated backups of each save, so you can go back if it breaks, and you should erase backups once on a while. 
It’s a port from a Drupal module Live CSS http://drupal.org/project/live_css by guybedford http://drupal.org/user/746802 
Now using ACE editor http://ace.ajax.org/ 
Tested on WordPress 3.6. But needs more testing !
=capabilities.php problem (not bug) SOLVED !=
Ok, now I did the correct thing and created an action to the wp_loaded hook to init the plugin, then, 
check whether the user can “erase themes” which is an Admin capability only, so the plugin only works if you are an admin. 
No need to modify the capabilities.php nor anything else.
Some users have had problems in former 12.05 release with their site being inaccesible after installing the plugin. 
It all seemed to be part of the same problem with the capabilities.php file that is discussed here:

It works nice and perfect for me, but still needs testing !!!
<h3>Hola mundo !</h3>
Este plugin está basado en el módulo de [Drupal Live CSS] (http://drupal.org/project/live_css) de [guybedford] (http://drupal.org/user/746802)
Es un editor de CSS que te permite editar en directo todas las hojas de estilo CSS de tu web, ver los cambios y guardar sobre la marcha. 
Está pensada para usarla al diseñar la web, por lo que conviene desactivarlo o desinstalarlo una vez terminada. Cada vez que se guardan los cambios se genera una copia de seguridad fechada, para que puedas volver atrás si hace falta. 
Utiliza ACE como editor.
Sólo los administradores pueden usar el plugin.
Importante !!!
Hacer copia de respaldo de los archivos CSS antes de probarlo ! 
Aunque el plugin genera automáticamente copias de seguridad fechadas en el mismo directorio en que estén los archivos modificados, siempre conviene tener una copia del estado general de la cosa antes de empezar a trastear. 
Si no funciona al guardar o hacer la copia de seguridad aparece un mensaje con las rutas del archivo que se intentaba modificar, la de la copia de seguridad y tal vez un mensaje de error. Lo más seguro es que el problema sea de permisos. Los CSS que quieras editar deberían tener permiso de escritura 755.
Instalación
La instalación es la típica de cualquier plugin de wordpress. Desempaquetar el zip en wp-content/plugins, y listo. No hay que tocar los temas ni hacer nada más que activarlo desde el panel de administración. 
No tiene opciones ni página propia en el panel de administración. 
Probado en WordPress 3.3.2, tienes que ser un administrador para poder usarlo.
Utiliza ahora el hook wp_loaded que arregla el problema de la versión anterior que se discutía aquí: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wp_get_current_user-4?replies=32
