I just want to throw my opinion out there. I have been using geda (gschem and pcb) for years and I have yet to find a satisfactory waveform viewer, simulation gui, and netlister. Kudos to someone who wants try to make a legitimate waveform viewer, the open source EDA community needs one. I for one

I managed to edit the netlist file manually (in gedit) and added the word 'Power'. Seems it is case sensitive _and_ tab sensitive. To summarize, the syntax of the style allocation should be: netname style_name pin pin pin where stylename is Case sensitive. e.g. "Power" worked; "power" did not..
