assumin you have a vanilla /includes/boxes/categories.php, you could try this ...

 

I used the modulo function on the i loop, so it changes the color in every seocnd line to the values defined, using a span tag.

 

I have not tested this as my box is not vanillla at all ... so let me know if it needs more work on it.

Jessie it looks like you have a modded categories.php box for one, and that you haven't applied any of the code I posted. I think the commas at the end of the lines are weird too.

 

Please post your categories box code.

 

Want me to remove the commas too?

the last link you posted has just a regular cat box, with the product count and arrows removed, and a square added instead if it, backgroundof box same color as column_left. Should not be difficult to do.

 

I checked your code, should you still want to go with the other one, you'd need to do mini-tables for each cat where I added the span, and apply the color to the td in the mini-table.
