Live Reloading - should all styles be cleared before reapplying?

[markrickert]

Take for instance background_color. Try this:

1. Turn on live reloading
2. style an element and add a background color... say color.blue
3. change it to color.red. save. app updates to red.
4. now just comment it out and save. color stays red.

I'm wondering if we should go through all the elements and remove any styles (or set the elements back to their "default" state) before reapplying the styles.

Thoughts?

I set it to clear. Then remove the color.

No way to remove a style.

Jamon is working on the ProMotion screens, in that case it will probably destroy and recreate the views, solving this problem.

We could get really clever and do stuff like looking for removed lines and having a set of defaults to apply based on what attribute was removed.
