As you found out the hard way, that sadly wasn't the case ...

You mean the blueish theme? Could you check that

http://localhost/vanilla-static/vanilla.css

brings up the CSS file?

In any case, the location of assets like that can be specified in

/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/vanilla.cgi.conf

under "resource-url".
