} I'm sorry but that outputs something like this:
} *                                                             [ ok ] compiling                                                             [ ok ]                                                                       [ ok ]

I think you must have gotten some double-quotes or curly-braces in the
wrong place, somehow.  Or something.

schaefer[501] file=somerandomstring
schaefer[502] echo ${(r:70:):-"${ltgreen}* ${white}compiling $file"}"[ ${ltgreen}ok ${white}]"
* compiling somerandomstring                                          [ ok ]
