Hi Richard,

Well, the easiest way to accomplish this is to not use the greenstone
navigation bar at all, and just make your own.

in nav_css.dm theres some code:

# The following is useful if collection specific macro.  Override
#

SearchSubjectsFromDates

to be empty if you don't want the navigation bar to
# appear in the standard place, and then specify SearchSubjectsFromDates elsewhere
# in a collection specific macro file(s) to be where you do want it.

SearchSubjectsFromDates

{
<div class="navbar">
<p class="navbar">
SearchSubjectsFromDates
</p>
</div>
}


So it appears that you need to add something like

SearchSubjectsFromDates

{}

to your extra.dm in the Global package to remove it.

To add your own one, you might put your desired macros and html in that
macro.

SearchSubjectsFromDates

{
<!-- My navigation bar macros / html  -->

}
