Nyanline Network Styling Update

I recently looked at what facebook actually looked like in 2008, and sometime in october they completely overhauled the style to be what it was in what I assume to be early 2009. I will not lie, I got a little inspired by some design cues, so I took a look at what I could do with my current layout. In essence, I've completely revamped how the header/navigation element reside within the page, making them one element, and I've also changed how the button elements look, also adding two other types, making three colors of button: Blue, (default), Green, (.green) and Red. (.red)

(A sneak peak of the new index layout, above.)

As the image shows, the navigation element and user controls are one inset element inside of the main header, instead of having the navigation element take up it's own bar. I'm also having the navigation buttons show the index page, or welcome page, as the only option when logged out, as going to any of the pages that require login redirect there anyways. Below I will also attach an screenshot of what the development home page currently looks like as well:

Now that navigation is inset in the header, I think I will revise what things take up their own navigation category. There are also no navigation icons when logged in, that is because they currently do not exist. (lol)

Another thing is that I have adopted the user image drop-down paradigm once again. This should be way batter however, as I actually understand the CSS tricks that go into making a clickable drop-down menu, and have implemented it way better this time as I actually wrote the functional aspect of the code, not modifying what is essentially a template from w3schools. I've known how to do this for a long time, but I didn't bother updating the existing drop-down menus I had.

Some more things need to be revised, and that is clear in the second screenshot I took and attached here. I will not be pushing this update until I make a functionality change to the back end, as a style change is not warranted unless it paves the way for another tangible feature.

This has been a development log for Nyanline Network, I hope it was entertaining if not informative.
