I also use firebug for quick edits and Web Developer if I need to add to the CSS before actually editing the CSS.

It outlines them in a red dotted line and the name appears on the status bar. you're not weird I do all the same things as you

It shows you the name and DOM path of each element. I also like Outline Custom Elements. You can see all of the divs on a page. Helps if you lose something, or need to see why an element isn't aligning properly. The toolbar also gives you a bunch of handy shortcuts like clear cache and things like that.

Yeah, I use the toolbar for temporarily disabling JavaScript, and to get around annoyances like MySpace pages with all of the standard features hidden.

When I was converting our IF skin into a ZB theme, I'd keep finding areas that I needed to change but didn't know where to look for them in the CSS. Sometimes ColorZilla would give me the answer or at least a clue, sometimes not. The Web Developer feature Dennis mentions above was exactly what I really needed, and would've saved me countless hours if I'd have known about it at the time. I like Color Cop for grabbing colours. It's a doddle to use, you can drag it around the screen to wherever you want, and because it's stand-alone you can have it on screen when you're ready to open Photoshop or PSP, etc. too.

In fact, never even considered trying it. Perhaps I should though, I tend to take the hard way around. I still finish my themes rather quickly now but I can always finish faster. But yeah, some useful things here. It shouldn't take you too long to start theming. Keep the strive, hopefully you'll even come to enjoy doing it despite the length of the CSS.
