Extending Liferay 7 default theme - liferay-theme

Question

I am looking to change just a few attributes for the default Liferay 7 theme:
Left Justify the navbar
Hide the Search control in the navbar
Allow a second level to each menu
It seems this is best done using a Themelet? Curious if someone could point me to an existing implementation I could use as a starting point for such a customization.
Thanks,
Randy

To allow a seconde level or ( Child of Child) you should add another loop inside each element. Here is the FreeMarker code to put into navigation.ftl, and you can add you CSS on it.
<nav id="navigation" role="navigation">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9">
<ul class="nav1">
<#list nav_items as nav_item>
<li>${nav_item.getName()}
<#if nav_item.hasChildren()>
<div class="fulldrop">
<#list nav_item.getChildren() as nav_child>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<#assign navchild_name = nav_child.getName() />
<h3>${nav_child.getName()}</h3>
<br>
<#if nav_child.hasChildren()>
<ul>
<#list nav_child.getChildren() as nav_child>
<li>${nav_child.getName()}</li>
</#list>
</ul>
</#if>
</div>
</#list>
</div>
</#if>
</li>
</#list>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
