I have many categories, and the top menu has only one line to show the categories, the other lines appear on the top banner, can not increase the space to display the categories that I have. I need urgent help. I can not find solution. Does anyone have a module to solve this,?

in Version 1.5.x, you can place about 10-12 Categories maximum on the Top Menu Bar, if you choose rather short Cat-Titles, and rework your left/right margin+padding Top Menu Settings in the Stylesheet.css File, in order to 'shrink' the Gap between the Cat-Titles and the left/right end gap. In addition, shrink the Menu Font Size, eventually change the Style to a generally smaller Font.

If you have more Top-Cat's, it will break the CSS Frame, as I call this, and place, what has no longer room in the Top Menu Line, in a second (neutral looking) Line, below the first one, starting from left. The consequence of this will be, that the CSS Defined Frame, FOLLOWING, and suppost to stay first-left, in the second row, will be displaced to the right, accordingly, with eventually still visible Cat-Links, or then just an empty visible space, and visibly hidden links.

in OC version 2, you have an Module to have multiple Top Menue Lines, as I recall from reading about... 8)

I don't know of any such Top Menu Extension for v.1.5.x, you may check here for possible Options:

Good Luck ;)

Thank you my friend for the quick reply, but as I'm new here, and I can not speak English well, could guide me in more detail how to do this.
in fact, the categories are displayed in a second, third and fourth line, only that are superimposed on the banner, would need to actually increase the space to display categories, or increase the space between the menu of categories and the banner, or block, just below the categories.
If you can explain in detail how to change the CSS file, I am very grateful.

unfortunately, I have no 'quick-step' solution to 'visually' solve your Problem, and I do no Pro-Job's around here either, just sharing knowledge, for those, able to do it by themselfs. I have not even been able to take a look, you supplied no URL! But you could try to reach a Pro like i.E., Viethemes, he seems to have certain control over Top Menu Cat related stuff, although for OC v.2.x only. But, I assume, he is willing to do custom v.1.5.x work as well. Please understand the Situation, but this won't be done in a few minutes, because it should look good..., professionally, I guess! It's what one looks at, all them time! ;)
best regards,
Ernie
