        Hi,
you can add new categories only in Categories dialog, which is available
after you push "Categories" button in the Contact Editor, it's on the
left of the entry you type your categories. If you add there new
categories, with New, or modify them, by Edit, button, then they should
be shown in the Show drop down in Contacts window. They should be shown
immediately when you add them, but in case they aren't, restart
Evolution.

There is some effort to allow autocompletion for categories, which will
include also "Create category" for new categories, which should make the
process easier. Not for icons, but that's no big deal.

I'm not aware of other icons delivered by evolution, but you can assign
almost any image to it, but it should be rather 16x16 size, not bigger.
        Hope that helps,
        Milan

P.S.: Maybe I didn't get the question right? I'm not sure now...
