Remember: top, right, bottom, left (OR top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left)

2,515 PointsI'm having the same problem. The padding-top of 5px isn't the problem. Even when I set it to 0px the white gap is still there. Is there any way to set the background color of my header to reach the top of the page?
