    I would like to reduce the top padding on the header in Metro. I can't seem to locate it in the stylesheet.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank You!

    Hi - The big wrapper is handling that.  You should see this line in your CSS.

    #wrap {
    clear: both;
    padding: 2rem;
    }

    ---- replace the above with this, for instance ---

    #wrap {
    clear: both;
    padding: 1rem 2rem 2rem;
    }

    This will bring the header up sme.  Adjust to taste.

    Best, Dave

    For anyone wanting to use this - a little clarification.

    You will see this in your CSS -

    #wrap {
    clear: both;
    padding: 36px;
    padding: 2rem;
    }

    And I replaced the above with this, (I adjusted the padding slightly to retain the side padding) -

    #wrap {
    clear: both;
    padding: 1rem 2.25rem 2.25rem;
    }

    Thanks again Dave!
