2 questions. please help!

Please see the attached image!
Problem #1.
I want to remove those top and bottom box images and the text "Categories" from the navigator. (but i don't mean i want to remove those sidebox images for other sideboxes. Only for navigator.)

$content = "";

$categories_tree = $_SESSION['category_tree']->retrieveCategoriesTreeArray();
/* echo "<pre>";
print_r($categories_tree);
echo "</pre>";*/

$is_first = true; $cat_first = " catFirst";
foreach($categories_tree[0]['sub_cats'] as $sub_cat){
if('no_sub' == $categories_tree[$sub_cat]['sub']){
$content .= '<div class="parentCateLink'.$cat_first.'"><a href="?main_page=index&cPath='.$categories_tree[$sub_cat]['path'][0] .'">' . $categories_tree[$sub_cat]['name'] . '</a></div>';
}else{
$content .= '<div class="parentCate'.$cat_first.'"><a href="?main_page=index&cPath='.$sub_cat .'">' . $categories_tree[$sub_cat]['name'] . '</a></div>';
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->buildCategoryString('<ul class="{class}">{child}</ul>', '<li class="{class}"><a class="{class} category-top" href="{link}"><span>{name}</span></a>{child}</li>', $sub_cat, 2, 1, false, true);
}
if($is_first){$is_first = false; $cat_first = "";}
}

I guess this is the source for the navigator..what shall i change?

Problem #2.
I do not see quantity box in the cart, which means a customer can not update the quantity of the purchse in the cart page..but there's update button in the cart.

Please help..I could remove images for the box in css file, but if i do that, other sideboxes lose their box image as well..

That is a 3rd party template by RubikIntegration you should look to their documentation or find a thread here in the contributed template forum
I do not see quantity box in the cart,
Check if this is template specific by switching to the classic template and looking for the quantity box

If you did not like the template why are you using it??

Yeah im trying to change whole design from this template and reason for using this is this template has the layout i wanted..
I just have no idea of using css so I can't perform a layout as i want..

Thank you so much for the help!!

And i just changed the template to classic to see if the classic has the box, but it doesn't :(

Apparently not, as you are trying to get rid of things that it has builtin, and why I asked

oh i was just saying in design wise..right im removing few elements from this template and replacing colors and images..i might should have said its base structure is what i was looking for :)
and still searching for qty box issue using different keywords i can think of for hours..:'(

Solved!
I did not turn off the "show quantity box" in product detail editing page from admin...
