Hi Dave,
Following is some steps of my test to use the CSS from a theme:
1. Create a default web site, add the App_Themes folder, create a new theme
named "Theme1"
2. Create a new stylesheet in theme1 with following content:
..highlight
{
background-color: Yellow;
}
3. Create a new skin in Theme1 with following content:
<asp:Label CssClass="highlight" runat="server" />
4. In Default.aspx, use this theme:
<%@ Page Theme="theme1" ...
5. Create a new label in it:
<asp:label ID="label1" runat="server" Text="Hello World"></asp:label>
6. View this page in browser, you will notice the background color of the
label is Yellow as the stylesheet applied.
For more information, please refer to following article:
#Themes In ASP.NET 2.0

Themes and CSS files can work together to control the look of your
application. You can add one or more .css files into a theme directory.
ASP.NET will automatically apply all of a theme's style sheets into a page
by injecting a <link> element for each .css into the header of a page. Your
page must have runat="server" in the <head> tag for the automatic style
sheet inclusion. The pages created by the IDE have this setting
automatically.
Let me know if this answers your question.
Sincerely,
