If you used git to obtain Conkeror, you can use that command at the
command-line/terminal (not in Conkeror) from the Conkeror directory to
determine the version.  If you just used a snapshot, there may not be an
easy way.

These files should be in CSS and you can use the existing CSS files in
the content/ directory to guess what might be suitable for
userContent.css and userChrome.css.  Note that userContent.css applies
only to the content area (and therefore is used to customize the hint
styling), while userChrome.css applies only to the non-content area
(like the minibuffer).

Conkeror just uses the same path format as your operating system.

Well, if you have more issues, you know where to ask. :)
