Best Way to Customize the Navbar?

[djensen47]

Are there any built in ways to customize the navbar?

I've considered modifying the CSS but that only gets me about 80% of what I would like.

Are there plugins?

Or should I just fork Persona and build my own theme?

What is the other 20%? You could make a child theme of persona and only modify the navigation.

I kinda want to re-write the navbar using flexbox. Though I still might be able to do that by modifying the css.

I also want it double high (about 100px) by default. Etc.

What's a child theme?

A child theme is just a regular theme with baseTheme defined in theme.json for example https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-lavender/blob/master/theme.json#L7.

Then you can add template files you wish to customize and everything else will come from the baseTheme.
