How do I make Genesis Slider "Full Width" on custom Child Theme Template?

[Gary Designs]

Dear Forum,

How do I make the Genesis Slider on this custom Child Theme Template "Full Width"?  I registered a widget called "Slideshow" and have it working (see demo  & code below).

I want it to appear' full width' immediately BELOW the Top Navigation bar. I borrowed the functions.php from the Lifestyle theme to create this example, and am confused as to how it is calling in the Header.

 

1)  DEMO URL   >> http://bit.ly/VaN6zV

2)  HOMEPAGE TEMPLATE

*****************************

<?php

/**
* Template Name: Front Page
*/

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'lifestyle_home_loop_helper' );

 

function lifestyle_home_loop_helper() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-right' ) ) {

 

/**
* Insert Slideshow Widget Area
*/

genesis_widget_area( 'slideshow', array( 'before' => '<div id="slideshow" class="widget-area">' ) );

 
dynamic_sidebar( 'home' );
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-left' ) ) {
echo '<div id="homepage-left">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-left' );
echo '</div><!-- end #homepage-left -->';
}

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-right' ) ) {
echo '<div id="homepage-right">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-right' );
echo '</div><!-- end #homepage-right -->';
}

}
else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}

}
genesis();

Many thanks,
