I would like to keep the colored category bar, but not display any categories.
I have tried excluding all my categories, but 'no categories' text is still displayed.
I have also tried changing all the colors to the same as the bar color.
I'm sure there is a simple answer to this. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Why not just use %bar1 or 2 set it the height and color you want and your done?

Hi - thanks for the quick response.
Can you please give me more specific instructions?
Where do I enter %bar1 ?
Sorry, I'm very new (but a quick learner

Ato->Style & edit header area->Configure header area
Then style the bar at the gotten of the page

Oh thank you! I was trying to do what I needed through Header Area/Category Menu Bar.
