4.3 along with new CSS based design also brought to me many new reasons to be confused...

Here is the last one :

In order to change the look of the customer side wich CSS file should I edit - main.css or altskin.css ? What is the difference between them?

P.S: I am using Lucid (2 column) skin.

I'm not really sure actually, I just stripped all of the excess .css out and left main.css, but I write alot of my own CSS so it's not a big deal for me.

This is just a guess, but I think the altskin.css is if you install a different skin other than the defualt x-cart skin.

haven't really looked into it too much. If you have a altskin.css I believe you alter that one since it is called later in the html and will have precedence over main.css.

If you encounter a tag that is not in altskin.css then look in main.

Hope I didn't confuse you more.

You can keep it the way it is and as Ashley said just look into one or the other for the style you need and keep anything new you add in only one of them. Or you can combine them into one file and strip out all unnecessary or repeating code. It's a lot of extra work but at the end will give you smaller and better organized css file
