How to disable subcategories block?

In old PrestaShop releases we had to alter template files or add css styles to theme global.css file. In case of PrestaShop 1.6.x we can use theme configurator module that is available in your shop back office. So, with brand new responsive theme it is no longer necessary to alter any file.

1. Log in to your shop back office and then open section "preferences > themes" exactly as i show on image: preferences > themes
2. Near your theme click on "theme configurator" button: Theme configurator button (it is worth to mention that this is a module - sho it is also available from "modules > modules" section)
3. On theme configurator module page, scroll page down and at the end of the first form you can find "display subcategories" section. Just switch its value to NO
