I have installed XenForo, now the site(mysite.com) looks like:

Now I want to change the index page, I want it(mysite.com) to show like below img:

How could I do this through XenForo?

Do you want to change the look of the existing navbar? Or replace the index with another page? It's unclear.

I want to replace the index with another page, only keep the tab: "log in or sign up"

You could move XenForo into a subdirectory like /community, thereby freeing up the web root to host a different page at the main URL.

this way, index page does not belong to XenForo, is there a way that I can make index page inside XenForo through ControllerPublic? Besides index page, I also want to make other pages such as features, support...inside XenForo

To create and publish multiple pages inside of XenForo I suggest page nodes with this addon:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/

Page nodes don't use the root URL though. Extra programming is required to insert a page node at the root URL.

Thanks. I will check it out.
The final result, I want to see is similar like this site: http://study.biblestudyconnection.org/.
I still want to try this way: add controllers in library/mysite/ControllerPublic/features.php(support.php...), but since I am not familar on how to use mvc, I need some suggestions on this.

If you want to create your own route with the addon system, see this guide:

Once you have your own route then it can be exchanged with the index route using this addon:
