Simple Zen Cart Question

To change the look and feel of the site, if I just go in and edit the CSS file, will I cause any functional problems? (Assuming I do all the CSS correctly, of course.)
Or do I really need to edit the CSS file through the Zen Cart interface, weak as it is?

while I have not used Zen Cart. I have had my fair share of Web apps to reskin ,
rule of thumb would be to leave the same class names in tact and just tweak attributes and color codes : should not cause any problems to the cores programming , since it looks for class and Id names and not individual attributes and that would be just to build the UI , so the sales transaction coding should not be affected by css changes

I had a look at zen cart a while back and the html markup was dire so you might find some issues with that and have to make some template changes.
As battleaxe said though, don't change class/id names and have a play around. Usually you can do it directly in the css files and just overwrite them locally/by upload and not need to use their editor. Some ecom systems do cache templates though so if you don't see changes immediately you might need to look for some sort of cache clearing setting in the cart admin.
