spacing categories in sidebox

I need to add a space between category listings in my sidebox on the left. I am not sure what to edit to do this. I am using the classic template and znecart version 1.3.9h http://bloomingvinedesign.com/zencart?

You can't make the standard category links space out more than the double-line categories, since they are inline <a> elements. If you make them act like block elements, the <br /> between each category will add an extra space. Add to your stylesheet

.category-top {display: block;}

This will cause the count after each category to drop to the next line, which is not desirable. If you turn the counts off, you will still have the extra space.

Alternatively, you could install Categories Dressing and get complete control over the layout and other characteristics of the categories sidebox.
