Customizing Category Sidebox

[melena]

the actual size of the images is 162x28 px i left the extra px to make sure the images show well

You do have a strange bit in your stylesheet:

a.category-top img, a.category-subs img, a.category-products img {
    height: 30px;
alignment: top
    }

"alignment:" is not a recognized CSS property, and shouldn't accomplish anything. It might cause a whole rule to be ignored.

background-position: center center;
may help, or other settings of that property.

So you are saying that the files are only 162x28px? Is there any extra space in the file itself?

I took that bit out but no change
i added the background bit but no change
Yes the images are that size without any space

I've managed to made it appear a little bit more with this:
a.category-top img, a.category-subs img, a.category-products img {
height: 30px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
It looks like there is some padding in these cells, that's why the images don't come up in full...

after fiddling around with various parameters, it looks like it is the font size assigned because if I change it from 1.2 to 1.7 the buttons fit. Only i get all the other titles in huge size so i need to separate the properties of the cat sidebox from the others. this is where i made the changes

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #196a19;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

a:visited {
color: #ffbd00;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #FFff00;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

a:active {
color: #196a19;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

Greg,
since you've not been able to suggest a way to solve my problem with your add-on can you please tell me how to uninstall it?
Thanks,

You appear to have found that deleting the custom tpl_categories.php file and stylesheet_categories_dressing.css uninstalls the mod.
