"Quick Links" Menu in three columns

[Snort_2005]

This is my first time ever releasing something like this so don't byte. :p

Ever got annoyed how the quick links menu was a tad tall? (those of you with the lower resolutions.) I have devised a solution.

Installation:



Login to your Admin Control panel and open the style manager.
Edit the templates of the style you wish to apply this to.
Double-click Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates to expand it.
Double-click the template bit "navbar".
Find <!-- user cp tools menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">



<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[quick_links]</td></tr>

<if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td></tr></if>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,me nubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,w idth=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td></tr>



<tr><td class="thead"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>

<if condition="$show['siglink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editsignature">$vbphrase[edit_signature]</a></td></tr></if>

No.. It was aimed at me. His screenshot had my default skin in it. It was also because of the rounded png quotes I had on there. <_<
