How do I display a top level category listing full-time?

I like the Category tree feature except for one thing... I'm using a fixed width for my site (1000 px). As you drill down the category list, it causes my left column to expand too much and my content area exceeds 1000 px. I'm not sure how to fix this. Here are the options I can think of:

1) Simply display the top level categories only. Not an ideal fix but it could work
2) Allow the existing category tree to word wrap (is this even possible?)
3) Find a scriplet that already exists to fix this

I like the category listing from this store (even though it's not and AbleCommerce store: http://www.zwave4u.com/en/Z-Wave-Controller

OK, found this in another post and it fixes #1 above by displaying the top level categories only.
[[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList CategoryId="0"]]

Is there a listing of ConLib functions with options somewhere?

I was just looking through the ConLib help in the admin section and noticed that the example above was not included in help.

Example above: [[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList CategoryId="0"]]

In the help file: Usage: [[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList CssClass="section" HeaderCssClass="header" HeaderText="Categories" ContentCssClass="content"]]

Does this mean that the helpfile is incomplete? Is there a better or more complete reference for this?

That's the only reference I know and in this case, it must be incomplete.
