Thanks in advance.

Reesy that looks like better categories with some tweeking to achieve it.

Which elements are you wanting to mimic ? You may need only tweeking on the categories box portion of the css also...

Awesome Tina, a big hug in your direction... Better categories, now installed, tweaked, and looking good.

Thank you!

Glad you got it hun !

[Reesy]

ah but not quite perfectly it seems
Is there any way to make a subcategory a different color, not just the text which I think comes from...

else {
        if ($box_categories_array[$i]['has_sub_cat']) { 
        $content .= cat_with_pointer($box_categories_array[$i]['name'], 'right', $spacer); }
        else { 
        $content .= cat_with_pointer($box_categories_array[$i]['name'], 'nosub', $spacer); }
      } 

ah edited to say I can just add another div in here to control it I think... let me see...

Bum, that didnt work.

Hi Reesy - I am looking at a classic template 1.3.5 and no better categories installed and I see this :
/* categories box parent and child categories */

A.category-top, A.category-top:visited {

color: #008000;

text-decoration: none;

}

A.category-links, A.category-links:visited {

color: #004080;

text-decoration: none;

}

A.category-subs, A.category-products, A.category-subs:visited, A.category-products:visited {

color: #FF0000;

text-decoration: none;

}

Each element is pretty obvious which it is referrering to - so I would find those controls in your bettercategories css and split them out so that you can apply background colors to individual elements.

Hope that helps a little more.

Thank you Tina, you are my newest bestest CSS buddy
You know when you look at something too much you end up thinking its much harder than it really is... I was miles too deep here.
