Sounds like you're not editing the Style in the Shape. If you don't have the Shape selected, you're editing the current Style setting, but not the Style used in the Shape.

Use the Select Shape Tool and make sure you have the Shape selected before editing its Style. This is not the same as selecting the Curves...you MUST select the Shape.

Hope this helps.

Cool! Glad you got it working!

BTW, I'll be making a tutorial on shading tips for Moho soon. :D
