I copied the AM theme to a new folder, renamed it, modified the .info, .php and .css for our site's own theme. All is well, except for one part of our pages is messed up, a newly defined custom block that appears in a header-top div, which i defined based on copying header-bottom, header-first etc. This block's HTML uses its own special .css file, which looks fine in a hand-written .html page outside the drupal system. This hand-written page uses a .css in addition to this block's styles. but does not look right in any drupal-generated page. We suspect either the hand-written page's general css file is adding something to make the block appear correctly in the hand-written page, or that the AM-derived css file adds something to mess up the block in the drupal-generated pages.

So get firebug and trace the styles.
And provide a link to the problem or paste the code.
Also check your 404s if the css is trying to use any images - relative paths may need adjustment.
And VALIDATE your pages and CSS. Always.

As it stands, this 'support request' is a bit of a non-sequiter.
A mystery indeed.
