03. Display > Presentation
Basic Options
Userinfo Position in Entries → Right side of the Entry Text

04. Topbar → Module Positions
I designed the topbar specifically, so to have it look like the image and live preview just make sure all the other boxes are hidden and in this specific order:
1 → Freetext #1
2 → Profile
3 → Freetext #2

The header-menu is disabled and instead, the links in freetext #1 and only that module have been designed to appear in the large Georgia font. Freetext #1 acts are your menu links so go crazy with it.

05. Header Image
Upload to your own servers as always → featuring The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Make sure you have something written in your journal subtitle so that the header shows up.
