# custom category template

 * I want that my site menu change color by category in category pages and that 
   a category logo appear as title instead of the site logo. For this to happen 
   I should change the code from the menu (that is in header.php and the styling
   in style.css of course).
    How can I achieve this? Can I simple copy the code 
   from the header.php to the category templatefile and modify it?

 * No. You would need to apply different styles based on the current category. This
   would be simpler if you used the [body_class](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/body_class)
   in your theme’s header.php file.
