Either comment it out or delete it

Then

foreach ($context['categories'] as $category_tab)

Added before and after in the curve2 theme
(WithTabs1 shows a category with no description, WithTabs2 shows a category with a description)

Hey mate do you have before and after screenshots by any chance?

Well, I have the after shown  on my test site...

test2.turtleshellprod.com

The before was just the standard display.
(That test site has only changes to css to have the green look, so it's core code, except the css and these changes)
:)

I'll see what I can put together.

added before and after screen shots to the OP

hm...slight snag...
when loading the page the category doesn't show....if I click on the category tab it does pop up

is there a default tab that should be set somewhere?

[edit]while typing this out figured out the issue...I deleted the default category created so I didn't have a id_cat 1

i tried to remove
#category_1:checked ~ .cat_board_content #category_1_boards,
from the css but that didn't do anything

since it's a test board i went in to the db and changed the category id from 2 to 1 and 3 to 2 and then the boards id_cat to reflect the change and now it works as it's supposed to....

so that may be an issue with others that deleted the default category instead of editing it

Ah, yeah... didn't think about that...   but yes,  the CSS depends on the category ID
