Your on 4.1 and used the Style Generator am I correct?
Try this:
AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Select "Edit Templates" then find CSS Templates and expand > Find vbulletin-chrome.css and click to edit
Now find:
Code:
.globalsearch .buttoncontainer {
height: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_size.height}px;
border-{vb:stylevar left}:{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border};
display:inline-block;
border-{vb:stylevar right}:{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border};
width: 25px;
overflow: hidden;
float: {vb:stylevar right};
}
Replace with:
Code:
.globalsearch .buttoncontainer {
height: {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_size.height}px;
border-{vb:stylevar left}:{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border};
display:inline-block;
border-{vb:stylevar right}:{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border};
width: 25px;
overflow: hidden;
float: {vb:stylevar right};
margin-top: -26px;
}
Basically your adding in:
To that CSS definition to align it properly, let me know if that sorts it?
Edit: Adjust the value i.e. 26 to the number that aligns it properly if not
