I When enabling CSS aggregation in Newswire theme (so theme will display in IE8) The following occurs.
1. Suckerfish menu disappears from both themes.
2. Version 6x-3.2 not only is missing suckerfish menu BUT theming for region blocks also goes missing.
3. Newswire theme 4.1

I have tried
1. Moving Css files to theme folder
2. Adding CSS files path to theme.info
3. Clearing Cache
4. Running Cron
5. Garland works fine
6. Other module themes work fine.

Could this be a conflicting path issue? See screenshots.

Update, if CSS from sub theme is pasted in to html-elements.css things work fine. Is this the best way to fix this or is there a more porper way?

Hmmm, hard to say what your issue might be - normally I would think this is a permissions issue with the files folder where the permissions are not liberal enough for the server to write the aggregated CSS files, but if things are working with Garland (a good test is to change the color settings for Garland and if they work I would not think its a permissions issue).

I have no issues with this on my local server or our live testing server: http://sitespring.eu/at-beta/ here you can switch theme and see its working normally.

Okay I did you test with the color picker and you were correct, I did get an error with that.

I tried changing tmp to 777 and 775 but itdoes not work. Any ideas

the files and tmp folders probably need to be 777 - if simply changing the folder permissions does not work this can become a really thorny issue and not one that is theme specific, so beyond this I'm afraid I can't help due to time constraints.

Thanks for you input, please keep me up to date when you get your commercial themes. Also please PM your info if you do any custom theme work.

Just as an FYI for people who come across this when searching like I did - this also happens if the owner/group aren't set right. I've found that mine need to be set to nobody as opposed to the user attached to the hosting account.
