The Categories Dressing mod does this for the categories sidebox, and the relevant part of the code could probably be transferred or adapted to the categories-tabs menu.

Re: How to use images instead of text for header menu links

Can Categories Dressing mod create another Categories sidebox? So it would be like...


CATEGORIES A

  • Product 1
  • Product 2
  • Product 3--------------------
    CATEGORIES B

  • Product 1
  • Product 2
  • Product 3
    Or is there another mod for it?

- Nothing is impossible. Some things are just less likely than others. -

It can't create a separate sidebox by itself. It can give the look of as many separate sections as desired using specially styled non-linked headings, but they can't be moved independently (without special stylesheet/coding like this). Styling separate borders around each section would require a bunch of code added to tpl_categories.php.

For actual separate boxes which can be moved around, see the Parent Categories Separated In 3 sideboxes thread.
