Using Style sheets in CakePHP

Recently I’m start working with CakePHP for one of my official project ‘The Bangabhaban website’. This is my second local project. First one was ‘votebd.com’ developed with CodeIgniter. I’m very happy to being developer of such a project. Lets happy starting.
I had to develop a template for demo purpose. here I discussed some CSS related problem solving tricks:
1. External Style Sheets: For access all images and style sheets you have to add following codes into .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [L]

2. AssetHelper: is a great  helper for
CSS and JS compression. You can find it in http://www.pseudocoder.com .

3. CSS Tidy: is an opensource CSS parser and optimiser. CSSTidy has full CSS2 support and a higher reliability. Any way to configure the helper and/or CSS Tidy to just combine all of
my CSS files into one:

$this->settings['remove_bslash'] = false;
$this->settings['compress_colors'] = false;
$this->settings['compress_font-weight'] = false;
$this->settings['lowercase_s'] = false;
$this->settings['optimise_shorthands'] = 0;
$this->settings['remove_last_;'] = false;
$this->settings['case_properties'] = 0;
$this->settings['sort_properties'] = false;
$this->settings['sort_selectors'] = false;
$this->settings['merge_selectors'] = 0;
$this->settings['discard_invalid_properties'] = false;
$this->settings['css_level'] = ‘CSS2.1′;
$this->settings['preserve_css'] = true;
$this->settings['timestamp'] = false;
