i am trying to customize zen-cart for a customer. he wants that every product-category comes in its own style.

i saw the possibilty to add c_[catid].css files where you can override the main css-file.

to make this really work, i had to add a "id=cat_[catid]" to the <a href="" where the menu-entries (categories) are built (in file /yourtemplate/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php).

works fine now, but:

how can i style the different categories, when none of them is clicked? in the default-view for the shop (home page)...

where to put the hook to the special category style?

help, anyone?
