vB 4.0.1 Fix
Those of you who performed this mod on 4.0.0 and have upgraded to 4.0.1, all you have to do is revert the header template and perform the edits again. For some reason when the templates were merged with the new code it messed up the links when logged in.
-----------------------------------------------------

Open header template

Find:

PHP Code:

<input type="text" class="textbox default-value" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="<vb:if condition="$username">{vb:raw username}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase username}</vb:if>" onfocus="if (this.value == '<vb:if condition="$username">{vb:raw username}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase username}</vb:if>'){this.value=''; this.style.color='black';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value='<vb:if condition="$username">{vb:raw username}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase username}</vb:if>'; this.style.color='#828282';}"/>
                    <input type="password" class="textbox default-value" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="10" tabindex="102" onfocus="this.style.color='black';" />
                    <input type="submit" class="loginbutton" value="{vb:rawphrase log_in}" tabindex="104" title="{vb:rawphrase enter_username_to_login_or_register}" accesskey="s" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </fieldset>
                <div id="remember" class="remember">
                    <label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" class="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" /> {vb:rawphrase remember_me}</label>
                </div>
            
                <input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />
                <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
                <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
                <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
                <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
            </form>    
        </vb:if>
    </div> 


Replace With:

PHP Code:

<style type="text/css">
.toplinks form img {
        position:relative;  
        top: 3px;        
} 
</style>

<img src="./images/icons/username.png" alt="Username" />

                    

<input id="navbar_username" class="bginput" type="text" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Username';" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Username') this.value = '';" value="Username" tabindex="101" accesskey="u" size="10" name="vb_login_username" style="font-size: 11px;"/>

<img src="./images/icons/password.png" alt="Password" />

                    <input id="navbar_password" class="bginput" type="password" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = '';" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Password') this.value = '';" value="Password" tabindex="102" accesskey="u" size="10" name="vb_login_password" style="font-size: 11px;/>


                    

<label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar">
<input id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" type="checkbox" accesskey="c" tabindex="103" value="1" name="cookieuser"/>
</label>
                

                    <input type="submit" class="loginbutton" value="Login" tabindex="104" title="{vb:rawphrase enter_username_to_login_or_register}" accesskey="s" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </fieldset>


                
            
                <input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />


                <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
                <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
                <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
                <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
            </form>    
        </vb:if>
    </div>

Anyway, the author hasn't worked on this mod in ages. Either he or vb should mark this mod as being Non-Supported.

I use something similar on my site, it is not that difficult to change around for 4.0.5. It can be changed so that the 'Remember Me' and tick box is not shown at all, but still sends the cookie set to 'Remember Me'. I never actually released the code I did, but it works in the same way on output, apart from I do not use extra styling for the images.

I fiddled with it a little...got a little further...but couldn't get it to look as clean as it does on the default. This custom header is just too modified I think and I'm not a good enough coder to make the necessary chagnes.

The actual coding on this modification really needs updating, because it as CSS in the header template, with the later versions of vBulletin this should have been moved to the additional.css so it loads last. Actually, re-styling coding to work on most styles is quite straight forward if you know CSS and how to implement it with DIV's.
