Skinr options do not show up on blocks (themed with acquia prosper/fusion) [#616930]

I followed http://drupal.org/node/567962#comment-2040442 and http://drupal.org/node/567962#comment-2136752 but have not been able to view the skinr options in block configuration. I am ysing a fresh install of acquia drupal.

I have the same problem with 6x.1.0 version of skinr.

With both versions, I do not see the previously reported problem (http://drupal.org/node/567962#comment-2003984) of the themes getting disable when I navigate away from the theme page. All themes (skinr, fusion, prosper) remain enabled.

I wonder if others see this problem or if it is only at my end? Is there a fix?

Thanks

I am experiencing the same problem with Prosper and blocks, but only within panels. I am able to partially theme nodes using skinr themes, but not blocks.

I am able to skin blocks using the standard theme's regions.

Hey -- I did notice improvement if instead of theming the block in panels, I themed the *region* using skinr. But only the list style themeing block seems to work. This is probably a prosper problem.

I stumbled into some things while tinkering around with this that might be helpful to you.

* Not all skinr styles seem to work within panels.

* Views can be themed using almost all skinr styles.

* Custom nodes never did theme correctly for me. I never tested existing nodes.

* My blocks could only be themed using certain styles (usually ones made for lists).

* Counter-intuitively, I could set the region theme to what I wanted and the block theme to what I wanted the region to be, and it would show up mostly right.

* I could theme blocks at the block level the way you'd expect to *IF* my panel used this way of nesting (which is not how the default flexible theme was set up): Row --> column --> row --> region. Blocks within Row -->region did NOT theme as expected unless first wrapped with a column.

Good luck.
