I found out a way without css and just editing the sidebar.php
changed
<?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”) ?>
to
<?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘asc’, ”, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,”,”,”,”,”) ?>
also changed
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
to
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=custom’); ?>
