Setting different number of rows and picture sizes than the main category

[willie bee]

On my main category I have 9 categories, each icon is 160 x 120 pixels.

A B C
D E F
G H I

If you click on "A" for example

"A" has 6 sub categories and each icon is 160 x 120 pixels.

A B C
D E F

If click on "B" for example, "B" has 10 categories and they are listed as

A B C
D E F
G H I
J

and each icon is 160 x 120 pixels.

Is there a way to set it as 5 x 2 at 80 x 60 pixels JUST FOR THESE SUB CATEGORIES?

A B C D E
F G H I J

I could not find it in the admin and I'm going to try to answer my own question and say no and that the page needs to be customized for that but I'd like to hear if I am wrong

TIA.

You're correct, though you can make the subcat image files exactly 80x60 px and they will display at that size. Changing the number per row for one category will take some custom code. It might be doable with a per-category stylesheet and some customized CSS rules.

why u gotta depress me like that?

These rules in Firebug change my test site from the stock three per row to four per row, and if put in a stylesheet named c_23.css, would apply only to subcats of category 23.

.categoryListBoxContents {width: 24% !important; height: 90px;}
.categoryListBoxContents a img {width: 80px !important;}
.categoryListBoxContents+br {display: none;}
#featuredProducts {clear: left;}

Some alterations might be required for particular setups, and for different numbers per row.
