I'm trying to get acro to work with classicthesis and with the hyperref option, but to no avail, though errors are gone when the hyperref option in acro is removd.
The MWE is quite long on this one. Essentially, I modified classicthesis-config.tex and FrontBackmatter/Contents.tex to the following.
classicthesis-config.tex
%!TEX root = ./ClassicThesis.tex
% ****************************************************************************************************
% classicthesis-config.tex
% formerly known as loadpackages.sty, classicthesis-ldpkg.sty, and classicthesis-preamble.sty

And the list of acronyms is printed like shown
If I remove the hyperref option at the end of \acsetup{}, then I obtain no errors and the list of acronyms gets printed as wanted, but the hyperreferencing of the acronyms is gone, which is something desirable to have.
I had read something about acro and babel conflicting, so I pushed the \usepackage{acro} to before that of babel as instructed here, to no avail. I'd go for acronym, but I need to customize the acronyms behavior in a way that suits a certain typesetting style, not to mention the \ac{}-\Ac{} problem with acronym.
Best Answer
There is no MWE given and at the time the question was asked I apparently had my problems creating one. With todays¹ versions of the packages however, a MWE shows no problems (see below) so this question is likely to be solved by updating…
This example shows correctly working colored links:
