Preview: http://celebrusisawesome.smfforfree.com/First, ensure you have the jQuery include in your headers. It looks somewhat like this-
<script src="/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Next, put this wherever your new tabs should appear.
<div id="_nav"></div>
In the preview, I put it at the very top of my headers.
Finally, add this to your footers.
<script>

// EDIT AFTER THIS IF YOU WANT TO.
reclass = "mirrortab"; // decides the root, try changing it to 'maintab' and see what happens
align_to_right = true; // true/false
get_rid_of_top_padding = false; // works better when 'reclass' is set to 'maintab'. once again, true/false
// EDITING ANYTHING AFTER THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
$(".maintab_active_back:contains(Home)").parent().parent().parent().appendTo("#_nav");
$(".maintab_back:contains(Home)").parent().parent().parent().appendTo("#_nav");
if(align_to_right)$("div#_nav").css("float","right").next().css("clear","both");
if(get_rid_of_top_padding)
{
$("body").css("padding-top","0");
$("#_nav").css("margin-bottom","10px")
}
$("div#_nav td.maintab_back").removeClass("maintab_back").addClass(reclass+"_back");
$("div#_nav td.maintab_first").removeClass("maintab_first").addClass(reclass+"_first");
$("div#_nav td.maintab_last").removeClass("maintab_last").addClass(reclass+"_last");
$("div#_nav td.maintab_active_back").removeClass("maintab_active_back").addClass(reclass+"_active_back");
$("div#_nav td.maintab_active_last").removeClass("maintab_active_last").addClass(reclass+"_active_last");
$("div#_nav td.maintab_active_first").removeClass("maintab_active_first").addClass(reclass+"_active_first");
</script>
Customization:As you can see, there are 3 variables you can edit. They should be more or less self-explanatory, but I'll explain them.
reclass: This variable decides what the 'root' class of your new navigation will be. With 'maintab', the curved edges will be at the bottom. It looks like the default tabs. With 'mirrortab' the same thing would be inverted. In the preview, it is set to 'mirrortab'.
align_to_right: In the preview, you'd see that the tabs are to the right of the page. If you want it to be on left, change this to false. (without quotes)
get_rid_of_top_padding: This will basically stick the tabs at the very top of the page (with no gap) if you put the <div> on top of your headers.
Further customization:If you want to customize it further, such as adding padding, and you know what you are doing, you can customize it with CSS using the
div#_nav rule.
Notes:1. This was inspired by sibyl's Endless theme which was a conversion of one by Crip.
2. I don't know if it's legal to have an underscore at the start of an id.
