You could use the same CSS file as nagios, using what you feel are the appropriate \
classes and code your layout to be similar to Nagios but what you're wanting to do \
seems like magic to me. If the Look and Feel of Nagios changes between versions, \
you're going to have to update your code to match. I just don't see any way around \
it.
