Hi experts:

AFAIK, Like menu 'new', 'share', 'Open' is a `top_nav` element, is that possible I can add a `my_top_nav` on top of `top_nav` element? I try to modify the chrome.jade as bellow. but failed, could you give some help?

```auto

  body(kbn-chrome, id='#{appName}-body')
    <my_top_nav here>
    kbn-initial-state(data=JSON.stringify(kibanaPayload))
    block content

```
