Ok, a couple of things:
1. When commenting in the x-cart templates, be sure to use this:
{****
instead of this:
<!--
2. To edit the cart, you'll need to open up customer/menu_cart.tpl and remove the capture for the menu to get rid of the borders. To do that, open it up and remove or comment out these lines of code:
Code:
{capture name=menu}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_orders.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_your_cart menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }
