Well I worked out the CSS issues, but I noticed a small bug and tested it on a fresh install.

As above, I'm using this as my plugin:

global $template_hook;
$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('dropdown');
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= $newTemplate->render();

And this as my template:

<li class="popupmenu">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab" style="background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center; padding-right: 15px">Drop Down</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<li><a style="text-indent: 0px; color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

And it appears to work great. However, there is a negative side effect or bug. Once you turn on the plugin the "Forums" navtab is perminantly selected and the subnavtabs only show the forum options, even while viewing the homepage or CMS, the forums is still selected and the submenu display the options for this.

As you can see in the image, I'm browsing the homepage, but the submenu is showing me on the forums. And the submenu that is supposed to be displayed (highlighted in red) isn't showing up. Note this is only an issue with the CMS for some reason. If you do the "Whats New" link the submenu changes.

I've been banging my head against the wall as to this particular problem. For me personally this isn't a big deal because I plan to get rid of the whole second navigation bar entirely, but this might not be a good effect for everyone.

I've determined that regardless of what I put in the template. Even if the template is blank, just turning on the plugin causes the bug. So I've narrowed it down to the plugin.
