As nice as this is and glad to see updates, I think I'll stick with the 1.1 version (Pre Color Changes).
On a forum with white and black themes it's hard to find a happy medium on the color.
The default of past versions really seem to match the site and theme much better especially if you have several themes installed.
Just my 2 cents but still a Great addition.

Installed and working perfectly. Great hack. Thank you very much!

VERY Cool! I really like this mod! Very easy and works like a charm (note - default skin).

well, here is progress report so far.... I left the plugin installed and reverted the navbar to default and the bar still shows up on the main pages, but dissapears completely on pages where the forum shows multiple pages..... really weird... I am going to try installing it above the navbar and see what happens. the search and quicklink dropdowns to function on the pages where the bar doesn't show up though..... stay tuned.... Allen

Update.....

I completely removed it and my forum functions properly with the dropdown menu's....

I reinstalled the program and followed the navbar instructions to put it at the top, and it still showed up at the bottom on the main pages and top on others..... strange....

Marky.... if you want access to my admin control menu to see if you can figure it out, send me a pm..... Allen

Hehe yes, I only included this in the admincp, I saw no point in putting anything about the hack in the text files. Hopefully, in the next version I'll include admin help files

Thanks for the suggestions, these help alot so I can include as many features into the hack as possible

The suggestion 'Able to add more than one menu' will appear in a future version, once I have added many more features to the current navbar. I will be introducing the ability to admin control the original navbar also (I would like to know your input of this please, if you want this feature, tell me so I can include this

)

Thanks for your kind comments all, and enjoy the hack
