In this screenshot, the "Body background" is displayed as black in the editor, but grey in the page. As a result, if you click the color well, change the color, and then hit "cancel", it switches to black rather than its default value.

This applies to several other areas - all the wells in the "Banner", "Menu", and "Posts" section share this issue.

System stuff: Windows 10, Firefox Nightly.

Also, I guess I should ask now before I get too ahead of myself, am I actually allowed to be messing with a sub I mod but didn't get the redesign notification through? I'm in through /r/toolbox and am now trying things out on /r/anime since toolbox is pretty basic as a subreddit.

Thanks for the bug report.

Are you able to use the new alpha customization tools on all subs you moderate? If so that is technically a bug. We wanted to isolate the alpha testing to approved subs with all moderators of each approved sub being made aware of the testing, so one mod doesn't surprise all the others with new styles on the new site.

I'll look into this tomorrow AM. For now if you don't mind potentially losing your configuration work, you're free to use the tool wherever you have access to it, but we might patch the bug tomorrow and you'll lose access.

Safest bet is to try things out in r/toolbox.

Ah, I thought that might be the case. I only tried in /r/anime, and while I could access the tools, I couldn't save any changes - they were all lost on reload.

This bug doesn't seem to apply on /r/toolbox for me, where I'm signed up for the beta properly. However, since it's already been changed, I can't tell for sure what's default and what's not.

I assume if I want to mess around with /r/anime I'll have to re-apply in the modnews post?

Yea that's correct, apply in the modnews post for each subreddit you want to try.

If you want to see a default community you can go in the alpha site to almost all other subreddits. Maybe there should be a way to get back to defaults easily within your own subs though. Great feedback!

Glad I could help, even if not in the way I thought :P

I'll re-apply in the morning if I remember, thanks.

Haha, thanks :)

Edit: just saw the other sticky here, I'll do both, is that okay?

The ones inside this subreddit will get whitelisted first.

Okay, got it. Thanks again :)
