StyleVars in New Style - not taking affect?

[kensandell]

Hey guys,

I created a new style by going to Styles & Languages -> Style Manager -> Add New Style.
I created a style, with No Parent, named it and gave it a Unique Display Order.

First thing I did was edit the titleimage Style Var so that I could have my logo at the top left of the header. This worked fine.

Next, I want to adjust the header background to match my logo.
The thing here, is that no matter what I do with the header_background Stylevar, it does not take affect here. I have tried images, colors, etc.

I decided to test if I could even change this on the Vb4 Default Style - and it changed fine.

Here's where the funky stuff happens. I refreshed my new Style (the one I created) and it's using the change that was made to the Vb4 Default Style.

Yikes! What's going on? Anyone else notice this? If not, what steps did you take to get it to work?

As for the version, I'm running 4.0.1 Publishing Suite.

Thanks for any help!
