	* It is not possible to apply one set of styles to the complete module or individual widgets of a module differently than other modules of that type. i.e., the styles that you set to widget bar modules will apply to all widget bar modules. Ex.: You will not be able to apply say, a blue background to just one widget bar module while the rest of them have been set to say, a red background via Style Manager. For such changes, style.css has to be edited manually.		* It is not possible to apply one set of styles to the complete module or individual widgets of a module differently than other modules of that type. i.e., the styles that you set to widget bar modules will apply to all widget bar modules.

Now upon going back to the Style Manager Style, changes won't appear in Preview even though any modified values will remain. Any changes done to the Style will not take affect or appear on the site. The old rules (blue background in our example) will still be visible on the front-end.
