    If by change, you mean replacing the text, then yes it's possible. Add the following rule to your stylesheet :
    Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet
    Code:
    a.mainmenu[href="/privmsg?folder=inbox"] { font-size:0 }
    a.mainmenu[href="/privmsg?folder=inbox"]:after {
      font-size:11px;
      content:"Private Messages";
    }

    I want to change it to how many PM's you've gotten. Like if you have 0 then it will say: PM's (0) and then when you receive a pm it'll have a number and green color. Example: PM's(1)

    You can do it with javascript. But using javascript on the navbar seems to affect the mobile version of your forum in a bad way, where your navbar completely dissapears. So to my knowledge, there's no way, unless you have no plans on using the mobile version.

    Lol thx Klemen, and is there a way to change these two also? With CSS? To just members and groups?

    Ange's code works perfectly well on the rest of the navbar as well. All you need to do is change some words and links:

    Code:

    a.mainmenu[href="/memberlist"] { font-size:0 }
    a.mainmenu[href="/memberlist"]:after {
      font-size:11px;
      content:"Members";
    }

    a.mainmenu[href="/groups"] { font-size:0 }
    a.mainmenu[href="/groups"]:after {
      font-size:11px;
      content:"Groups";
    }

    PS: please tell me you're not keeping those glowing effects on links.

    When I posted the code in my stylesheet it removed "Private Messages".

    I think you accidentaly removed a closing bracket '}' after '"Private Messages";'
