I would like to know from x-cart developers what tools are used to develop x-cart custom skins, and mods to functionalities. I would like to see a more comprehensive approach rather than just a name of tools if you will. Do you generally setup a localhost to have PHP, MYSQL and web app server running and develop directly locally? Or you prefer to set up a test site and test the code directly on the test site? Is there a tool that can visually help you with smarty and HTML along with PHP codes in between?

Thanks for any feedback.
