vB4: Remove Navbar Second Row (tabs. search box, background)

[James Cole]

Hi, folks:

I'd like to eliminate the entire second row of the navbar altogether: navbar tabs, search box, background and all. That is, I want to turn this:



into this:



The programming associated with the navbar, however, doesn't make the programming modifications trivial. Ideas, please?

P.S. Motivation: We already have an extensive website that the forum needs to fit into, so the second row just adds confusion to the site given the site's existing headers, search features, and so on (in addition to consuming much needed space).

I can't figure this out either. I really just want to delete that whole chunk of crap from the top of every page.

Easy way to remove those navtabs and leave the bottom bar is CSS:

#globalsearch {display:none;}
#navtabs li, #navtabs li a.navtab {display:none;}
#navtabs li.selected, #navtabs li.selected ul li {display:block;}
.navtabs {height:0; padding: 0;}
.navtabs ul {top:0;}
.navbar {height: 26px;}

Hard way is to rewrite the navbar template.
