Go to my site and
download the kit I made. It's in downloads/phpbb2/add-ons/menu.fiblack.kit! Instructions and the icons are included! You create the block in Blocks Administration by pasting the contents of the included text file in a new block, put the mini icons folder in main images folder and you're good to go. You need to modify the shortcuts by removing the ones you don't need and putting in the ones you may need (Know what I mean?).
Ignore what I said about the sample block in the post a few posts up. You don't need to use the dropdown list at all. Just paste in like I said in this post. Very simple!!!
Click on the WWW button below to go to my site and download it.
The code is very easy to customize, all html.
