The category list from [gd_categories] (the GD > Categories block or widget) has design options for its icons and cards. You can set them in the block settings or as shortcode attributes.

Design options

• design_type: icon-left, icon-top or image (the category image as a card background).
• icon_size: boxed sizes such as box-medium or box-large, or plain sizes h1 to h6.
• icon_color: leave empty to use each category’s own colour, or pick one colour for all.
• hide_icon: set to 1 to show text only.
• use_image: set to 1 to show the category image instead of the icon.
• row_items: how many categories per row, 1 to 6.
• card_color and card_shadow: the card background and shadow.

For example, square cards with the icon on top and four per row:

[gd_categories design_type='icon-top' icon_size='box-medium' row_items='4' hide_count='1']

The design options appear when your site uses the Bootstrap (AUI) styles, which is the default for new sites.

Change the icons themselves

Each category has its own icon and colour. Edit a category at Places > Place Categories and set:

• Category Icon: a Font Awesome icon, used by the category list.
• Category Color: the colour of that icon.
• Map Icon: an image used for markers on the map. If you leave it empty, one is generated from the Font Awesome icon and colour.
• Default Listing Image: used by the image design type and for listings that have no image.

See GD > Categories for the full list of options.
