Changing the appearance of categories

Product Support

AI-generated summary

In a discussion titled “Changing the appearance of categories” under the Support category, szogun asked how to style categories so that a main category (e.g., ID 5) spans the full page width, with subcategories (IDs 6, 7, 8) displayed beneath it in a row. ondrej shared a link to a similar layout example, but szogun clarified that wasn’t quite what they wanted. Arkshine then offered a visual example resembling a horizontal bar chart layout and suggested achieving the desired look via CSS, asking if szogun was using a specific theme or could share their forum URL for tailored help. szogun later confirmed they had already implemented a similar effect using Category Groups and thanked the community for their assistance.

Do you mean like this?

Unfortunately this is not it, I would like e.g. category with id 5 to be on the whole width of the page and below it categories with id 6,7,8 to be placed.

Do you mean like that? Just a random example on meta:

Something similar to this

You can achieve that with some CSS.
Are you using a specific theme? If you can share your forum URL, that would help! (or by PM if you prefer)

I have already achieved a similar effect using Category Groups to group categories, thank you for your help
