so i ran these commands
$ npm install -g quasar-cli
$ quasar dev
i then changed the title in /src/components/Index.vue and that live reloaded,
i then changed the color $primary = #6e3124 in /src/themes/app.variables.stylus, color change did not live reload and then after quiting the dev server, to run quasar build, changes did not build.
no error from the cli was given.
Enable custom theme. Check head of src/main.js
cheers should have just read the head of the app.varibles.stylus
