highlight bloc doesn't include new categories

Hi,
1) Your highlight bloc doesn’t include new categories.New categories are normally created with the option in “projects” but don’t appear into the highlight bloc.what can I update this list.

2) highlight bloc seems to be the only way to spread categories, but we can’t modify width, number of projects like projects block (where we can’t include menu of category list).
isn’t there any other way ?
Thanks for reply
