    Hi,

    my site’s background in twentytwelveis taking up too much real estate above the banner. I’d like to get rid of it completely. You can see it as a band of color #f9eeca.

    The site is: https://www.davidahern.info/

    I’m using a child-theme to experiment with changes in style.css, but as yet know little about css or php and cant find a way of changing that background.

    Thanks for all and any help.

    Dave

  • if you set your front page to a static front page. Select the page in your dashboard and select the template full width page no sidebars.

    This will get rid of the sidebars on the right hand side of the page for your widget.

    You can then add the following css rule to get rid of the margins on the page.

    div#page{ margin:0;}

    Hope it what your looking for

    Thanks for replying mrtom.

    I’m ok with the sides; it’s the wasted space at the top of the page, the brown horizontal bar, that’s the problem. i’m presuming that’s the top of the background.

    In dashboard I can change the color but not the vertical size.

    Front page is static.

    OK, found it. For anyone else looking, the css is:

    body .site {
    margin-top: 0rem;
    }

    Thanks
