The LDM navbar is coded in the links_header template. It is actually set up to work in both a drop-down and flat style, with rather fewer items on show with the flat style.

Take a look at the template and you will find this sequence:

$header
$navbar
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
...
</table>
</div>
<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
...
</table>
</if>
<br />
...

The part in the "if" clause creates the drop down, and the "else" produces the flat style. So if you replace the "if" statement by

$header
$navbar
<if condition="0==1">
...

you will always get the flat style. Similarly you can modify the code so that only admins get to see the bar by wrapping round the whole if-then-else another if statement which tests on the value of $vbulletin->usergroupid (=6 for admins).
