    Default sidebar modification

    i am trying to modify the category sidebar by putting it into a small table with images. i tried modifying the tpl_categories.php file by putting all the code within the table i created but when the page is displayed, i see my table with no categories and then the category box with information right below it.

    see what i am talking about:

    Why are you trying to wrap a new table around the categories box? You can restyle the categories box itself to look however you want.
    For starters, Image Titles can replace the stock title text with the script heading image.

    i decided to use the css instead of the tables. how would i put an image at the bottom of the sidebox? i figured out the top.

    also, my top image gets cut off even if i changed the width of the side panel larger than the image.

    Column Width - Left Boxes
    and
    Column Width - Left

    You can put the bottom image as a background in #categories, with
    background-position: center bottom;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding-bottom: 20px;/*or whatever fits the image*/

    Then put a background-color in #categoriesContent.
