[ic] modifying category_vertical component table background color

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Dave Turk)]

I have been trying to modify the background color of the
category_vertical component table, see snipet below.

 <tr bgcolor="#6B6B6B">
    <td valign="top" class="categorybar">
     <b> [box-exec bar_link]area[/box-exec]</b>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>

My changes are being overridden, how can I stop this
from happening. Please note that I am trying to have a different 
color shade in the category_vertical component table then the 
one that is set in the theme.cfg by CATEGORYBAR_BG

Thanks very much for your help
