Thanks so much, I figured as much but I just wanted to be sure. I have been able to change the colors but because I don't know smarty I am not able to move the BestSellers box to the right side above the news. I guess for now it will have to stay where it is until I have more time to invesitage.

One other thing, I was able to change the color in main.css but do I have to change it in these as well

CSS file (main.IE6.css)
CSS file (main.IE7.css)
CSS file (main.FF.css)
CSS file (main.popup.css)
CSS file (main.popup.IE6.css)

If your using one of x-carts templates for example say Light and lucid 3 column, just go to

1. skin1/customer/home.tpl
2. Now you will see the code
Now you can move best sellers by following:

ORIGINAL CODE
<div id="left-bar">

{if $categories && ($active_modules.Flyout_Menus || $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" || $subcategories)}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Manufacturers.manufacturers_menu eq "Y"}
{include file="modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl" }
{/if}

{include file="customer/special.tpl"}

{if $active_modules.Survey && $menu_surveys}
{foreach from=$menu_surveys item=menu_survey}
{include file="modules/Survey/menu_survey.tpl"}
{/foreach}
{/if}

{include file="customer/help/menu.tpl"}

</div>
<div id="right-bar">

{if $active_modules.SnS_connector}
{include file="modules/SnS_connector/button.tpl"}
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison && $comparison_products ne ''}
{include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/product_list.tpl" }
{/if}

{include file="customer/menu_cart.tpl" }

{if $login eq "" }
{include file="customer/auth.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="customer/authbox.tpl" }
{/if}

{include file="customer/news.tpl" }

{if $active_modules.XAffiliate && $config.XAffiliate.partner_register eq 'Y' && $config.XAffiliate.display_backoffice_link eq 'Y'}
{include file="partner/menu_affiliate.tpl" }
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Interneka}
{include file="modules/Interneka/menu_interneka.tpl" }
{/if}



</div>

CHANGED CODE HIGHLIGHTED NOW THIS WILL GIVE BESTSELLERS ON THE RIGHT ABOVE NEWS:

CODE RED IS ADDED TO RIGHT
CODE GREEN IS ORIGINAL AND COMMENTED OUT SO IT WON'T SHOW AND JUST REMOVE COMMENTED OUT TO HAVE IT APPEAR THERE AGAIN

<div id="left-bar">

{if $categories && ($active_modules.Flyout_Menus || $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" || $subcategories)}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{/if}

{*{if $active_modules.Bestsellers}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}*}

{if $active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Manufacturers.manufacturers_menu eq "Y"}
{include file="modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl" }
{/if}

{include file="customer/special.tpl"}

{if $active_modules.Survey && $menu_surveys}
{foreach from=$menu_surveys item=menu_survey}
{include file="modules/Survey/menu_survey.tpl"}
{/foreach}
{/if}

{include file="customer/help/menu.tpl"}

</div>
<div id="right-bar">

{if $active_modules.SnS_connector}
{include file="modules/SnS_connector/button.tpl"}
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison && $comparison_products ne ''}
{include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/product_list.tpl" }
{/if}

{include file="customer/menu_cart.tpl" }

{if $login eq "" }
{include file="customer/auth.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="customer/authbox.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}
{include file="customer/news.tpl" }

{if $active_modules.XAffiliate && $config.XAffiliate.partner_register eq 'Y' && $config.XAffiliate.display_backoffice_link eq 'Y'}
{include file="partner/menu_affiliate.tpl" }
{/if}

{if $active_modules.Interneka}
{include file="modules/Interneka/menu_interneka.tpl" }
{/if}



</div>

Hi!

For php/html/css editing in Windows I recommend either NetBeans or Eclipse

For testing:
- Firebug plugin for FireFox
- YSlow add-on to Firebug
- ColorZilla plugin for FireFox
- MeasureIt plugin for FireFox
- Web Developer add-on for FireFox
- development tools built into Google Chrome
- Developer Toolbar for IE

NetBeans just announced initial support for Smarty. It might be time for me to switch from Eclipse.

Netbeans remains my favorite because it is free. After using UltraEdit long time, I am in love with Sublime Text 2. Initially it was a little bit hard to understand why is it much better than the others. Too many developers recommend Sublime Text. Now I am looking forward for version 3.

So guys, give it a try, see some videos about what this powerful editor can do. It is just amazing. Just after installation install Package Control plugin, then all will come like a charm. Search with Google Tips&Tricks for being more advanced in using it. The best editor of the moment in my opinion, Notepad++ is also great, but this one is more powerful and the most important faster.

Here is a nice tutorial to learn Sublime: https://tutsplus.com/course/improve-workflow-in-sublime-text-2/.

I am looking for Snippets to X-Cart 4 (if anyone will create them it will be great)!
