Correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think catorise has this feature.
But if you want. You can always install ApMeFo from the App manger. There you can choose icons for your categories.

I think catorise uses the same icons as HAM does, so you just need to frind correlative icons in /usr/share/icons/*** and change them

to change catorise icon to your own icon use filebox & go to this path...

usr/share/icon/hicolor/64x64/hildon

the path above is the default path for all catorise icon...you need to change these icon (remember to make backup for these icon aswell)....

app_install_desktop.png
app_install_development.png
app_install_education.png
app_install_games.png

app_install_network.png
app_install_office.png
app_install_other.png
app_install_ovi.png
app_install_science.png
app_install_system.png

Bah, no, don't put it into your /usr/share/...

Put your own icons into /home/user/.local/share/...

So instead of:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon/
use:
/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon/ (you'll probably have to create this directory the first time around).

The advantages of this are two-fold:
1. It won't delete the original icons, so if you ever want to revert, you don't have to reinstall your icons or whatever.
2. It'll override whatever your themes use as icons - so if your theme includes custom icons, there's no chance that categorize will use the theme's icons instead of your own. (The ones in /usr/share/icons... are the system default. Themes override system defaults, and icons in .local override those.)
3. It survives fiasco/firmware reflashes - so unless you're reflashing the ENTIRE device, including eMMC, you're not going to lose your custom icons.

i have try your method but it not working...reboot a few time but still the catorise icons stay the same...it is much better to puts all modified catorise icons on the icon packs that you currently use so the default catorise icons on hicolor folder wont be effected...
also i forgot to make the catorise icons more smooth & beautiful change the size to 128x128 but still put it in 64x64 folder...
