A little update…
Specifying a css file in minify tab, actually DELETES the reference to the css file from the source. For example, lets say in my source I have this:
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://my-domain/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
So I go to minify tab and under css I add:
http://my-domain/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css
and than I refresh my website and view its source, it appears garbled and the actual reference to the css file is GONE from the source!
Btw, having minify enabled under general settings but no css file specified under the minify tab, works fine.

This is what the plugin is supposed to do. All files added under the css minify settings are combined and minified into a single new file which looks like yourdomain.com/wp-content/w3tc/min/default.include.css
All references to the old files are removed and replaced with a single reference to this new file.
If your site has no css (appears white with basic text), the plugin does not have permission to write the new file. You need to chmod/set the file permissions for the /wp-content to 755

This is what the plugin is supposed to do, what you are viewing is compressed html.

Thanks Gary

Your browser has trouble decompressing the page. Switch minify and page caching to gzip only, which are the default settings and should not be changed unless you have a good reason.
