Description

I thought I saw this issue addressed elsewhere in the forums, but I can no longer find it.

I am having trouble getting my site to render themes properly in IE9-IE11 (we don't have any systems on versions of IE prior to 9, so I don't know about those...). The site looks great in Chrome, but all of the custom colors defined in the theme break in internet explorer.

Is there a quick way to fix this issue?

Thanks so much!

Research direction
Investigate if the theme uses CSS custom properties (var()) which are not supported in IE11. Use Internet Explorer's developer tools to identify which styles are missing. Consider adding vendor prefixes or a fallback for custom properties, or converting to static values for IE. Look at the theme's CSS files for any unsupported CSS features like flexbox.
