After setting it to <showcategories<no</showcategories>, try stepping
through the 'Setup' -> Appearance pages. At the end of these particular
pages, the theme is re-loaded (and you are bounced back to the Main
Screen and in your new or old theme. May be you forgot to try that?

Please do NOT remove this setting.
Leaving it IN, does no damage.
Removing it forces a particular outcome, which the existance of the
setting in prior versions, suggests is wanted, if not necessary in some
circumstances, especially where screen space is at a premium. The
ability to set the number of channels and number of time slote has
already been removed. Minimalism is nice, but not to the point of
causing problems.
Personally I think it should be *returned* to the Appearance Setup
screens. Although I don't have any problem with grep'ing for, and
editing a few xml files (not knowing exactly which file to edit), there
are lots of users who do not with to or are unable to do so.
And I agree that the screens are far too 'busy' with the genre
displayed. I don't display genre colors or channel icons in order to
keep the screen as 'quiet' as possible.

Agreed.
