vb/hivemail navbar integration

[pcalloway]

Am running vb3.0.3 and hivemail 1.3 and they are integrated. Am trying to get my email notification to show up on my Navbar - it's not appearing correctly and am hoping someone here might point me in the right direction.

I found this text in the navbar template:

<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/private.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a>: $vbphrase[unread] <if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']"><strong>$bbuserinfo[pmunread]</strong><else />$bbuserinfo[pmunread]</if>, $vbphrase[total] $bbuserinfo[pmtotal].</if>

And after it, I added:

<!-- HIVEMAIL ADD -->
<if condition="$show['hivemaillink']">
 <if condition="!$bbuserinfo['hiveuserid']">
  <td class="$navclass[hivemail]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailsignup">$vbphrase[hivemail_get_account]</a></td>
 <else />
  <td class="$navclass[hivemail]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="$vboptions[hive_url]">$vbphrase[hivemail_goto_account]</a>
  <if condition="$bbuserinfo['hivecheck']"><span class="smallfont"><br />$bbuserinfo[hivemsgs_newcount] $vbphrase[hivemail_new_messages]<br />$bbuserinfo[hivemsgs_unreadcount] $vbphrase[hivemail_unread_messages]</span></if></td>
 </if>
</if>
<!-- END HIVEMAIL ADD -->

It appears but oddly on my forum navbar (isn't taking the alt2 background):




But appears just fine in my instant messaging screen (alt2 like I want



I'm not much of a coder, what am I missing? Appreciate any help. I'd be happy to release this as a hack if it's anything folks might want.
