Journal style advice

Hello people, I'm in the process of migrating to dreamwidth from livejournal and want to make my new blog look like the old one (I use Smooth Sailing theme with custom CSS there and have never waded into "creating new layers", "advanced customization" or whatever you call it). Can someone point me to a DW theme that has these two things:

1) a decent header with Title, Subtitle, Navigation bar and Current page title. I saw many themes with this kind of header but they all seem to have Navbar under Current page title. Are there any themes where Navbar is shown at the top of Current page title?
2) an ability to create multiple custom menu blocks (title + static html content, no more) without having to mess with advanced customization. I want to have a counter and an informer in my blog and don't want to place them in a sticky post or something.

If someone knows such theme please tell me its name. I know it's just waiting for me to use it on my journal.

#1 -- Try:

* Bannering
* Basic Boxes
* Fantasie
* Five AM
* Hibiscus
* Modular

#2 -- None of them have multiple custom sidebar blocks; the module system is standardized across most of the styles, and has only one. All of them do have one, though.

Why don't you just use Smooth Sailing? It's easy to import and works perfectly over here too.:)
