Kill your css layout bugs. Without 2000 clicks in chrome dev tools.
Sometimes if I am trying to sleuth a layout problem in css, all I want is every single element on the page to show me where its outline is. And I want all the outline colors to be different per element because, well sometimes I need to tell stuff apart. This has proved much faster for me than clicking around in chrome dev tools when sleuthing what css is causing me problems.
If you like sass like me, you can just drop this partial into your includes. If you want to turn off
outlines, just set the variable $layout-debug at the top of _layout_debug.scss to false (or anything that isn't true).
If you like to use vanilla css, you can either keep it commented out at the bottom of your css file, or include it as an extra request in the head of your html file like so...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="layout_debug.css">
Make sure not to send it to production though because that wouldn't be the best.
Enjoy. And feel free to make the color scheme more pretty and send a pull request :)
