}

but nothing changes when I reload wpg it only work when I make the follow changes to the .base template file

testing: {color0}
// removed all lines from here

results:

testing: #654654
// removed all lines from here

No idea why the original file doesn't update

You have to replace all {...} with {{...}} in the .base so wpg removes one of the {} pairs, thereby leaving a single {} pair in the actual config file. edit: wpg -m at terminal can give useful errors. Also, when a change of theme errors, the file that is templated doesn't update, which can make it difficult to troubleshoot.

Yes, this is covered in the templates section of the wiki
