cimoreneThe style team is on top of everything and they've renamed the properties in the Negatives style. That means that if you used my previous "Styling DW/Negatives for Noobs" copy/paste guide to changing the colours, they probably don't work anymore! Oops.
The good news is: it's easy to fix if you've only changed the colours1.
The even better news is: this is the last time you should have to do this. Asaveleh says in ![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_styles, "We don't expect to rename any more functions or properties[...] That is, we've moved from the "overhaul" stage, to the "patching" stage."
How to fix it: You can simply go back to Your Layers and click 'edit' next to the new layer you created and replace the old block of text
The old colours aren't on a 1:1 correspondence with the new ones because they've made the new categories (a) make more sense and (b) have more descriptive names, so it's easier to figure out what you need to change.
1. If you made a layout layer and copied the whole thing, it's obviously less easy; the property names will have changed throughout the layer functions which means you need to replace the whole layer except the CSS section, and carefully change the names of the properties in the CSS.
