the only one you really need to edit is called "overall_header.tpl" that contains the CSS for each and every page.

yeah the admin panel has an area where you can edit everything as well. For the more advanced users you can actually edit everything in the file I mentioned earlier. Button placement, colors, borders, size of tables etc etc etc...

you just open it up in dreamweaver (or any other text editor). The .tpl is just an extention that SMARTY uses. If you look in that file you will see that it is just a CSS file with a different extention ;)
