Need help with category table :)

Hi all. I need a simple info:
I'd like to change the graphic of my categories table. Anyone can tell me how?
For now I can only set images in the category title. How to set a background too? I tried to insert this tag in the category title but vbb doesn't accept it ( tag too long?), probably I have to work on a template.

Here is the tag I used on the category title:

<td width="48"><img src="http://www.myname.com/vbb/images/image.gif" border="0"></td>

<td align="center" background="http://www.myname.com/vbb/images/image.gif" width="100%"><a href="forumdisplay.php?forumid=1"><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2" color="#000000"><b>Information</b></font></a></td>

<td width="48"><img src="http://www.myname.com/vbb/images/image.gif" border="0"></td>

Tnx in advance for any help
