Icons for Categories

[fnb4wd]

Does anybody know/is there any way to set up icons to appear next to each category in the category menu?

i want to do the same things as well, can i just edit in Dreamwaver and hyper link it?

Also, can i edit the style of the vertical category bar?

The easiest way to achieve it is with CSS.
Change <#VertCat> to <div id="vertcat"><#VertCatBlock></div>
Then in the head or in an external CSS file do the following:

<style>
#vertcat a
{
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12px;
color:#DB7701;
}
#vertcat a:hover
{
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12px;
background-color:#DB7700;
background-image:url('images/myicon.gif')
color:#FFFFFF;
}
</style>

This will have the effect of displaying the myicon.gif image when the category is hovered over. Some work will need to be done with padding and margins to make it work properly with your site. You will probably need to change the colours to make sense with your site as well.
