If I wanted to use this for the Categories would i put the css in the style sheet but then where would I put the HTML?

It would be a job, for sure. Categories in Zen are a bunch of links separated by BR tags. The listamatic menus are Unordered Lists (UL and LI tags) formatted using CSS. The approaches are quite different. But you could find the places in the Zen core code files where the Categories are built and modify that code to use the Listamatic approach. You would need to be familiar with PHP programming to be sure you didn't mess things up.

I'm kind of hoping the Zen team will use more sematically sound markup in furture versions, but it's difficult to break out of the strangle hold of legacy code.

I should have added:

If you describe more want you want to do, maybe someone will chime in with more specific help.

For example, if you simply want your categories to appear as a horizontal row at the top, there's a switch for that in admin. And once you've done that, you can modify the CSS to make them look as you wish.

But until you tell us how you want to make them look, we won't be able to help much.
