How to make product listing use same template as featured/special-template?

I want my product listings in the different categories look just like special and featured listing do on my front side. With a "Add to cart" and "Read more" button.
Is there any way to make the m use same template?
I have tried Single listing template, but this only changes the:
New Products,Featured Products and Specials doesn't it?

Hope someone could help me!

Re: How to make product listing use same template as featured/special-template?

From the readme file for the Single Listing mod...

This mod changes how these four product listings work...
All Products
New Products
Featured Products
Specials
...so that they can all use the same common template: that of the product listing.
So the point of the Single Listing mod is to give you the chance to have a single listing style throughout your store. If you're not seeing that in your store, your admin settings are not set up right. It is, of course, also possible to use different styles, as explained in the readme. Perhaps your settings are doing that instead of what you want. It's a very complicated setup process, so pay careful attention to the readme.

It's also possible that your template is causing the problem. On a site I worked on recently that turned out to be the case. The template I had installed used a custom version of includes/templates/OUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_columnar_display.php which seems to have prevented SLT from doing its job properly. When I switched to a different template, everything worked fine.

But i don't want to change the listing of new/all/special/featured. I want to change regular product listing in the different categories.
I want them to show up like new/all/special/featured...

hmm
