Navbar customisation

[SlackerAPM]

Hi, this is my first post here and hopefully I don't screw up...

I want to add the navbar to the header of my page, that will be the only place it is used. The only problem is I don't want it to use the vbmenu_control css and I don't want each link enclosed in a table. The only table I want is from the dhtml popup and even then I want to customise the size so it's different to the thread tools, search this thread and display modes popups.

I want the links in the navbar to be centred and formatted like so:

link .::. link .::. link .::. etc.

I started to edit the navbar template but I got lost in all the <td's> that come with the popups. Can anyone help? Thank you!
