Up above, B00MER says:
"Good starting point for developers and designers".

It kinda looked to me like they'd pay Cart-Lab a certain fee (royalty? base code fee?), and tack on their own.

As if you'd see, I dunno, $180 versions of this pre-stylized that someone else worked on.

It would, indeed, be a very nice base for a series of new templates. This thing is made of pure andrenaline.

- Not sure what you are saying, but CSS doesn't "lock" you into a squared look. http://www.google.com/search?hs=2sq&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=css+ro...rs&btnG=Search

I'm saying exactly what your search appears to be responding to. Looks like you hit on the nail on the head!

As it stands, it's all based on hard 90 degrees angles, and I'm asking if an X-Cart idiot (i.e., someone with Dreamweaver) can curve it out. Curvy like 7dana.com's natural design , or genpi.com.

It looks like the examples from Google, don't get curvalicious with CSS itself. They're adding little images, and using some pretty tough code to do it. (tough for a newbie to integrate into a template full of smarty, that is) I'm not even sure this is what b00mer intended - it almost looked like he wanted to get away from images, and go with CSS code entirely for speed, but I guess CSS doesn't have vectors builtin.

It sort of looks like CSS simplifies some stuff for us noncoders, but makes other things more difficult.

I'd say a precurved version of this template could go for $30 more, and I'd happily pay it, so I could just replace the curve images and fiddle with the CSS color and font codes for a new look.
