Currently the development version of the CSS skin for X-Cart 4.1.x is being developed, as far as upgrading I will need to run some scenerios on what will be the most efficient manner to do such.
From what I gather, renaming your existing skin1/ directory to something else and copying the CSS Skin for 4.1.x to skin1/ and then proceeding to empty out the templates_c/ directory of its contents via FTP or using admin summary panel, OR simply running cleanup.php from your x-cart install will do this also (Not on windows servers).
After which you'll need to re-apply any .tpl changes that have occured with any 3rd party mods, you will also need to either copy the .tpl files needed from any official X-Cart add-on into the new skin1/ directory OR re-installing the Add-on would do the same as well.
Basically the more out-of-box you can keep your X-Cart the better when it comes time to upgrading. Thankfuly X-Cart has implemented system fingerprints so you can easily determine which files are modified and are not the original code base.
Hopefully I will have a 4.1.x Version within a few months after X-Cart releases the STABLE branch.
I plan on sending anyone whom purchased the Skin recently(or specified extended support time during purchase) with a free upgrade, once its ready for public consumption.
