What is the difference between the Coolness template and the Coolness plugin?

My main Joomla website has a theme that is similar to Coolness. Can I leave my main website alone and just apply the Coolness plugin for the Community Builder part of my website?

Thanks in advance. I am new to Joomla/Lamp/Community Builder.

The CB template plugin formats CB component-specific parts.

The Joomla template plugin formats the Joomla site.

In this Coolness case, the CB template plugin relies on the Joomla template Coolness, specifically for the colors as those are params from the Joomla template.

You can use the Joomla template without CB template plugin, but using the CB template without the Joomla one will lead to insatisfactory results, unless you add the corresponding generated CSS to your existing template. Not a trivial step.
