I want to customize the style and text details in customer login and registration form in Magento.

I use the default theme. And I should edit the login page located in: /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/login.phtml and register.phtml for registration page.

My issue is when I make changes in the above files, nothing reflecting in the display/frontend. So I enabled the template hints from the admin and I could do it by changing the 'Current Configuration scope' to 'Main Store' instead of 'Default Config'. Now I got the phtml page is from: '/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/persistent/customer/form/login.phtml'.

What is the difference between these two? If I edit the login page from the persistent folder, do I have to change anything in admin? Currently I am checking locally and using default theme.

Also if someone knows, please mention why the form is pulled from persistent?

Persistent Module

This feature basically adds a Remember Me option to the login and registration page. Its add overwrite new feature to the existing modules.
