Step 1.

close textmate.

step 2

Open finder, browse for a CSS file, ctrl click and get info - set the  
open with option to CSS Edit and apply to all files of type CSS

step 3

Open Textmate.

rightclicking the CSS item in the project pane will now offer the  
option to open with CSS Edit.


of course, henceforth all css files will by default be opened in CSS  
Edit, but that may be  a non-issue.

in order for TM to refresh the file view (if you have it opened in  
another editor as well as TextMate, you will need to save the file in  
the other editor
