How do I get Admin menu to display the full Navigation menu (or another menu)? I tried overriding the $mid_admin variable everywhere it appears but it results breaking the menu.

As the name implies, Drupal Administration Menu is for the administrative menu only. You might want to try SimpleMenu for other menus.

I am well aware of that. However, the Drupal Administration menu looks better so if I want to use it to display the navigation menu, can it be done?

AFAIK, SimpleMenu ships with a theme that looks similar to DAM's. Since DAM has been developed intentionally as a backend-like menu, one would have to disable/comment-out approx. 50% of DAM's module code.

If you know CSS, you could simply copy'n'paste the contents of admin_menu.css into your theme's stylesheet and alter #admin-menu to any other menu block id, like #block-menu-1 or the like.

I see. Thank you very much, sun. You have been very helpful. I will try looking into using CSS replacement instead of hacking the code. :)
