Thank you for that answer, Lynne. Is it possible to use the stylevar's to define different category backgrounds or are we limited to just one?

[Lynne]

Each of the rows is defined by a unique id (<li id="forum4" ....), so you can use that in your CSS.

Thank you, I'll have a poke about and see what I can come up with. :)

I hate to be a pain.

Would you mind clarifying what template I'd have to use for the CSS? I was thinking additional.css but looking at the other templates I'm not quite sure so would appreciate a point in the right direction. Thank you :)
