Hello. This is more of a note than anything else. I was running in to an issue where my CSS files were not being served from the CDN. After tracing this back through file_create_url, cdn_file_url_alter, drupal_get_css, and template_preprocess_page, I have what I think may be an important tip.

In the event that you decide to implement a mytheme_preprocess_page() call in template.php, you will also need to re-add this line to your custom preprocess function:

$vars['styles'] = drupal_get_css();

Otherwise, the rewritten CDN paths for CSS files are not used, which means that all of your css files and background images will still be served locally.

This is just an FYI, so I am closing it out.

Very interesting! Thanks for letting us know — I'm sure this will come in handy to some theme developers some day! :)

One more note. If you are using the conditional_styles module, you need to re-pop that into the preprocess_page as well.

$vars['styles'] .= $vars['conditional_styles'] = variable_get('conditional_styles_' . $GLOBALS['theme'], '');

Per #690460: Conditional styles not added to $styles?, comment #1.
