Yep, 100% agree.
I'm thinking of pulling out all the "Forum" dropdown options and putting them in the toolbar, then shortening the name of other things (or removing the words altogether) to make room.
Like, I could probably move Logout to the "Hello!" menu. Any objections to that? "Private Messages" could be deleted entirely so it's just the icon, "Home" probably doesn't need text (since you can just click the picture). With that much freed up, I could put all the Forum items on the bar itself.
Sound good?
Not sure what the mobile implications are for that change.
Here's another option.
The current nav expansion just toggles based off presence of a "clicked" CSS class.
(#nav-main li.has-dropdown.clicked .dropdown-extended, #nav-main li.has-dropdown.clicked ul.dropdown-menu @ common.css:422).
We could probably just change that to #nav-main li.has-dropdown:hover .dropdown-extended, #nav-main li.has-dropdown:hover.
Also, #nav-main ul.dropdown-menu @ common.css:397 would need the 10px top margin replaced with 10px top padding, so that we don't lose hover state when moving from nav buttons (e.g. Forums) down to their corresponding subnavs.
(I can think of ways to fake it with JS if we can't change CSS for some reason, but from what I recall, even if you need to preserve upstream theme compatibility, you can edit a custom.css file and just override shit.)
Anyway, I'm open to helping out with tweaks like these.
