Within the editor, everything should be updating in real time. So let's say you are in a SubWidget designer and you move a label, the Overlay tab should immediately show that change, whether or not you have Design Mode enabled. The only exception I think are tickers; widgets in a ticker do not update until the ticker is refreshed which happens when you change a ticker property or in some other cases (but not automatically in realtime).
If you are talking about outside of the editor, e.g. running the theme in ATVO, that does not update in real time of course. Indeed you need to export and reload the theme for that to update. Unfortunately there is no way around this. This is why I made the Design Mode - which is kind of a preview of the theme and should be using the real data (if iRacing is connected) and make everything locked so you are not editing anymore. But indeed there are differences between Design Mode and actually running in ATVO.
