awhile back i created a variable width mini ning bar that adjusted its width to the content within (smaller when logged out wider when logged in) taking that a step further i attached it to the window top so its always within view, and styled it so it looks awesome (i only wish border radius alowed a negative value for a more graceful flaired curve look)

now for some code add to your custom css
#xn_bar {
background-color: #666666 !important;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 0 0 23px 23px;
border-top: 0 solid #CCCCCC;
bottom: 0;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 12px #CCCCCC inset;
display: table;
height: 22px;
left: 30%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
min-width: 0;
opacity: 0.56;
padding-top: 0;
position: fixed;
right: 30%;
top: 0;
width: auto;
z-index: 23;}#xn_bar:hover{opacity:.87}
hopefully most of you know you can chanfe the colors by changing the hexidecimal values after # (or replace with a color name #ffffff #000000 can be replaced with black or whitre if you dont include the #)
if you have customized the ning bar with added content you may need to allow lil extra space so change the left right values to something like 20%
note the opacity and inset box shadow causes a frosted glass like effect with it being lil more opaque when hovered over
yiu can also adjust the opacity value to get just the right look you want
