Sidebox categories customisation

[ben harry]

OK, im not sure what this is called so im going to have to describe it. Im using 1.3.5 and in the left hand sidebox which as standard comes as the categories, what i would like this box to do is look like the categories in admin, where each word in the dropdown sits within breaklines and the background changes colour when you hover over it.

I hope someone understands what im on about.

You can change the look of the categories sidebox with CSS in your stylesheet. Some of what you want will also require a minor change to
/includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php.
Alternatively, you can install Categories Dressing, which does this modification for you and has a large number of other customization possibilities available.

HI, im slowly beginning to get it all to work

Im just starting to try and figure out how to make the divider lines closer to the links.

Other than that it is looking brilliant,

Thanks
