Oops. :-(

The default css is now called default.css (not buildbot.css), and this 
should be in 0.7.12. (It's a new one.)

It should've been copied from buildbot/status/web into your public_html 
on upgrade, IIUC. (Or your current should've been renamed, but I'm not 
sure if we do that or not.)

Anyway, it appears as if the css-file isn't there, or has the wrong name.

Since it's possible to change the css that webstatus uses from 
master.cfg, you'd best check with your webbrowser what css-file the 
waterfall page references and then make sure you have such a file in 
your master's public_html-directory.

(It could be a simple 'mv buildbot.css default.css' in master/public_html.)

Then you can change that file as you wish, just as before.

The Jinja templates are not available in 0.7.12, but they will be in 
0.8. As it was a big change to all WebStatus-code, plus the adding of 
new dependency, I didn't feel comfortable introducing it into the 
0.7.x-series. (The main new web-parts in 0.7.12 is the new css file and 
the console view, nothing more.)

Also, in 0.8, all static web-files are stored in 
buildbot/status/web/files (and copied from there when running 
create-master), and not ntermingled with the python code in 
buildbot.status.web.
