I made these so that they'd work on my setup.
However, all should work on any setup except "make search more like gmail's" which req's the button to be there (or you could remove it and modify the css)
/*slim search bar*/
#vr-proto-header /*default 71px*/ {
background: #f5f5f5 !important;
height: 53px !important;
}
#srreg /*default 21px*/ {
top: 11px !important;
position: relative
}
/*colour the (fairly static) date bar*/
#vr-proto-nav {
margin-top: 0;
border-top: 7px #f5f5f5 solid !important;
background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;
}
#mainnav {
background-color: transparent !important;
}
/*make search look more like gmail's*/
input#maininput {
margin-right: 0 !important;
border-top-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.246094) !important;
border-right-width: 0 !important;
border-bottom-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.148438) !important;
border-left-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.148438) !important;
}
input#maininput:focus {
-webkit-box-shadow: none !important;
border: 1px solid #4D90FE !important;
border-right-width: 0 !important;
margin: 1px 0 0 1px !important;
}
/*remove "calendar" remnant from logo and then center the bar*/
.applogo
{display: none}
#topLeftNavigation
{left: 148px}
