Hiya!

I've been looking for a skin that looks like vb.org's with the tabbed navigation in the header for AGESSSSSSSSS (well, since they relaunched with that skin) and having never found one (why hasn't someone made a clone or 'inspired by' yet?) I started looking for skins that look nice but also have a header lay out that lends itself to being edited nicely.

Lo and behold, I find Evo which I LOVE! Unfortunately, I've spent the past 3 hours trying to do this and to no avail. Basically I have a horizontal, tabbed menu already to go and I want it to slot into the header under the <!-- login form --> bit and still within your rounded corners.

I've been dropping the menu in all over the place and if I manage to get it in a place in the header where it doesn't break the tables, it doesn't sit "flush" on the bottom because it is using the <valign=top> attribute of the login form section.

the way you have your header set up now, it seems to be 1 row with 2 columns:

<row> column 1 is logo, column2 is the login info. </row>

I would like:
<row> column 1 is logo, column2 is the login info. </row>

<row> column 1 is logo, column2 is the login info. </row>
<row> menu </row>

Hopefully the attached pic shows what I would like... Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Can this be done or not?

If not, I have to continue my search for a skin that will suit my needs. I just need to know to be patient or to cut my losses.

Thanks.

It can be done, but its not simple. You'll need to alter header table structure and images. Edit header template

Yeah, I'm aware of that but I'm unsure how to do it... I've made my own "custom header" but would prefer to use the Evo default and since I didn't code it I am unsure where/what is needed to add the extra row and thought since you'd have the source and know the code it'd be an easy 'mod' which is why I asked here.

I suppose I'll just play around with my work-around a bit more and see if I can make it work... If not, I continue my search. Thanks anyway.

Its not as simple as adding an extra row. Most header code will have to be rebuilt
