Your welcome.
You say you'll contact x-cart, but out of the box templates for 4.3.0 from what I have tested at home on my test server, all seem to be fine apart from Browser issues as mentioned.
If you have applied modification (Your rounded border boxes) it may be an issue with them, note I say "Maybe"
This is why I said on previous post to test your site on an out of the box supported 4.3.0 template from (X-cart) with no edits, as for me fly outs work a treat as far as I am aware.
As to editing the fly outs, there is quite a bit of complex css within just them. (It took me about 5 hours just to get it right on my test designs) to be compatible with all browsers to compliment my custom designs, so that it looks great with me design both with flyout and tree view.. I could mess around with css on flyouts but have better things to do.
I am not saying I am a genius as I am getting to learn x-cart again after a long break, and to me some of the css edits can be frustrating to find, even with firebug. But I enjoy html, css designing, which is what I do and also Java, especially tabs and content.
At the end of the day sometimes it pays to have a great looking site viewable properly in all browsers, with no issues. Imagine going to play.com and seeing a badly compatible and design site, that would look unpro.
My personal advice:
Buy from a modder that knows there design inside and out, with great styling where you don't have to do any edits, Or use x-carts templates and do very light edits, that can give you a more personal design, this way you have an out of the box great looking site for the extra cost (But may be worth it at the end of the day)
I am currently working on 4.3.0 designs, with custom tabs, boxes, accordion styles with rounded boxes, using jquery my own custom designs etc, and complete visual changes on where various things are placed, and also working on text and Image adverts, and trying to fill a lot of what I call white space (Wasted space) when viewing a lot of x-cart areas, to accommodate more selling options.
