I've looked at the "skin1.css" and "customer/categories.tpl" file but couldn't find out where to resize the "Categories" box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It is menu.tpl that controls the categories in the side menu, and that defaults to the width of the table cell in home.tpl.

Thanks so much, Padraic.

Oh....how about the spacing/padding between each line in the "Categories" box? Is it in the skin1.css file? I can't find it. Thanks again for your help.

Between each category name you mean? That is just a
tag in customer/categories.tpl. You would need to add a padding element to the CategoriesList class to use padding.

Yes, between each category name. I want some space between them, but not as much as a line using the
tag.

I edited the skin1.css file and added the codes below, using the padding element. However, I did not notice any changes between each category.

.CategoriesList {
FONT-SIZE: 13px;
Font-Weight: Bold;
PADDING: 5px;

Probably due to the lovely <font> tags X-Cart still uses Try replacing this in categories.tpl:

<FONT class="CategoriesList">

with this:

<div class="CategoriesList">

also replace the closing </font> tag with </div>

Hmmm.....can't find that line anywhere in the categories.tpl file under the "customer" folder. Here is what I have.

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.26 2005/11/17 06:55:37 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}
{assign var="fc_cellpadding" value="0"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
<div id="categories">
{foreach from=$categories item=c}
{$c.category}

{/foreach}
</div>
{else} 
<div id="categories">
{foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
{$c.category}

{/foreach}
</div>
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}

Is this the beta version you are working with?

Unfortunately yes. *****banging against the wall*****
