As I "learn" what version 4 offers, I must admit that the carousel display is delightful.  Having said that, I am at a crossroads.

HOW do I place categories in a carousel and eliminate the numbers (which appear when I do) for the carousel?

Setting the Max Items simply decreases the amount of numbers showing... (i.e if set to 20 the numbers decrease from 48 to 5)

My desire is to eliminate the numbers totally and only use the the left and right arrows to navigate and display the categories.  I imagine it is a setting that I am overlooking.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions and recommendations.

I was curious IF you or staff have a solution for this?  Is it even possible to be done?  I mean placing categories into a carousel display (without the extra pages showing)?

Sadly no.  No one even offered a possible solution.  

After playing with it for several days, I gave up in frustration and decided to wait for someone to offer a solution.

Same on this end... However, I am otherwise engaged with a different coding situation.

I don't think this is currently available but hopefully someone from oscommerce will correct me since this would be useful for many sites. It is possible since the product widgets, like new products, can do it. The widget just needs to be written.

In the meantime, you will need to do it manually. Create a banner group containing a banner for each of the categories you want to display.  Add the link and text as needed. Then add a banner widget to the theme for that group and the result will be the same as what you want. The downside is that it not automatic so you will need to edit the banner if the categories to display changes.
