I have been trying to do this & can't find any other post. I would like to make the entire left column wider & also shrink the categories font size with no luck. I have been messing around with the different VertMenu styles, but no matter which on I change I can't get the category text to shrink.

Webmaster mode works to help you find where things are located.

The left column layout is in skin1/customer/home.tpl for 4.1.8

I know which file it is in, but I can't get the width to change. What part of the file do I change?

Look for the code looking something like this:

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn" width="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" rowspan="4" valign="top">
<!-- main area -->
<table width="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn" rowspan="4" height="100%" width="200">

Yours may not look exactly like that as I have already modified mine but the code around the <!-- main area --> tag is what you need to look at and play with.

I edited this area, but it changed my entire site body width. Here is the link with that code: http://www.tnpaintballers.com/home.php

In version 4.1.8, look for this code in skin1/customer/home.tpl:

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="170" height="1" alt="" />

Change the width here for your category column.

This changes the width for both right & left colums. That does change the width of the column anyways.
