Please note that all colour information is controlled within these four css files. The core layout is addressed in the theme.css file. It is advised to disable the css compression during development to speed up accessing of the individual stylesheets and recommended that once your site goes into production that you enable css and javascript compression in the template > extra parameters in the template administrator.
