Design Control - changes not seen in browser?

[thomed 0]

After seeing the great Nike.com example video I felt inspired to experiment with the Design Control tab and attempt to implement a new color scheme. I was able to change the background image and position it perfectly. However, none of the color changes are taking effect on the live site. I've checked the CSS and changes are not propagating there. I'm using Platform Pro, with Base as the Active theme. I saw some people have had luck deactivating/activating the theme but that didn't work. Am I doing something really stupid like not ticking a box to say 'override defaults'? Site - http://mykitchendiaries.tv

What is the permissions setting for the dynamic.css file

I'm on the very latest version of PP. I just checked platform>Core>css>dynamic.css and found it was set to 755, so added write privileges. Whammo it worked. The admin interface appears to work, presumably because the color settings are stored in the database. Code somewhere detects that a change has not been made, so it does not regenerate the dynamic.css file. So I had to make a change to one of the database saved hex codes for it to 'push' the change into the dynamic css. Awesome - thanks for the help - works perfectly now
