  The navbar class creates a navigation bar. Normally Algo features two
  navigation bars - one at the top of the page and one at the bottom of the
  page. Several obejcts can be added to a navigation bar after its creation,
  including dropdowns, appboxes (the boxes with text that you can click on,
  usually found in the bottom navigation bar) and a clock. The style of the
  navigation bar itself and the objects on the navigation bar is found in an
  external css themes file.
