Usually the overrides are in the folder called "html" under your template.  I have found with the Yootheme templates, there are sometimes overrides in the "layout" folder of the template folder.

I agree the new YooTheme templates undergone major changes. The 2.5 versions are far more code heavy than 1.5. The Warp framework has added another layer to figure out. 

I am pulling my hair out trying to make a custom background work in Symphony. YooTheme says you can create a "styles" folder and override the CSS, but it doesn't work. 

As for the regular HTML overrides, like com_content and com_contact, I have noticed no or very little difference between the two. It is not a problem.

Are you speaking of template overrides?  If so, which template are you using?  I noticed on the Yootheme templates the template overrides were not where I was expecting them to be.  This was a function of their warp system, not Joomla.
