I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'm selecting the theme i modified via thememagic however the theme isn't changing. I have a screenshot to see the backend.

Have you compiled LESS to CSS?

Cheers

No i haven't the only thing i've done is go into thememagic and change the color palette

You need to compile after any theme magic change - this changes the template css files to reflect the changes you made in theme magic and then save

I'm getting an error when i click the less css button (unexpected error try again letter)

If you load a new theme style you've not used before - change nothing in theme magic and then save

Does it still show the error?

Cheers

I switched to a different theme... select save/ then less css and received the error. Should i change less css then save?

Do you have a index.html in the site root?

I haven't touched anything serverside I for the most part just ran with the quickstart. I noticed I can change the default templates and it reflects the change with the error. However, it will not change to the changes made on thememagic

Did you have an index.html prior to uploading the quickstart?
Commonly new hosting accounts have one

No, there isn't any index html files in the root directory.
