User(s) can reproduce this bug
If a CSS file is nested inside a theme folder in the App_Themes folder, the css styles are not picked up in the designer although they display properly at runtime.

CSS Styles using the following folder structure are not displayed at design time:
App_Themes\Theme1\CSS\Stylesheet1.css

But if you remove one level of nesting they do display at design time:
App_Themes\Theme1\Stylesheet1.css

Place stylesheets just below the "Theme" folder in the App_Theme directory.
