How do i replace the |_ in categories menu?

HI There
have searched for an answer to this one but not been able to find it!

when you click a category you get the " |_ " characters to indicate a drop down

Is there a way of removing/replacing this with something nicer?

Any contribs, or pointers as to where this can be done?

I would prefer an arrow or a nice image or evern better Ajax or someting a bit nice!

many Thanks

admin panel/ configuration/ layout setting/ Categories Separator between the Category Name and Sub Categories

HI There Thanks Haredo!
Is there limitations to what i can put in this area? Does the box accept URL's to images?

Thanks Haredo!

Cr,
Glad you read the post, and it was beneficial to you...
Nice site Cr, hope the lady does not see me checking this one out..

Check this out:

Search Box
A. Change Box Size in Search Box
1. includes/ templates/ override folder/ sideboxes/ tpl.search_header.php
1. line 17
2. width= 100 to 135
3. line 19
4. width = 100 to 135
5. ftp the file

B. Change Wording in Search Box
   1. includes/ languages/ english/ header.php
      1. Line 28
      2. ftp to: includes/ languages/ english/ your template/ header.php

Wicked! Thanks Haredo. I changed the width, but I did not change the words as I can't think what else to put there. I think I am getting closer to putting my site up for review!! But any other tips are very welcome :P

Cr,
Boy I love to look at this site. Hope the women does not wake up yet..:smile:

includes/ templates/ custom/ css/ stylesheet.css

Find this declaration:

1. #navMainSearch, #navCategoryIcon, .buttonRow, #indexProductListCatDescription {
   margin: 0.5em;
   }
2. Change it to this:
3. #navCategoryIcon, .buttonRow, #indexProductListCatDescription {
   margin: 0.5em;
   }
4. Now add this new declaration to the .css
5. #navMainSearch {
   margin: 0.5em;
   float: right;}
6. Just a cosmetic thing, I believe the search function looks cleaner by itself

Done! Thanks. You are a champion. Every little bit of help is muchly appreciated.

Cr,
You are most welcome,
But you forgot one important step in attributes.

Option Value

1. EX: Size
2. you need to add flag properties to **Please Select **
3. Under Attribute Flags: the colored boxes
4. Yellow box, Used for Display purpose only: Click Yes
5. Tan box, Default Attribute to be marked selected: Click Yes
6. What this does is force a customer to click their sizes correctly
7. Right now I can add to the cart and not select a size or color.. BAD
8. The beauty of this is a warning box appears at the top of the page and states they have not selected the attributes you offer to a customer.
   This will be done on all attributes

Hmm - In my Option Values, I dont have the coloured boxes. I have them in Attributes Controller, but it only changes one at a time. Have I missed a step here?

C,

Option Values for Size

Example of what it should look like:
Please Select 0
Small/Medium 10
Medium/Large 20
XLarge 30

Now in Attribute Controller
Please Select

1. you need to add flag properties to **Please Select **
2. Under Attribute Flags: the colored boxes
3. Yellow box, Used for Display purpose only: Click Yes
4. Tan box, Default Attribute to be marked selected: Click Yes
