Have you tried using firebug?

This is what it shows. Should just involve a few css tweaks for the header. Not sure about the menu:

.home .site-header {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
padding: 40px 0;
}
.home .site-header.shrink, .site-header {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
padding: 16px 0;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;

Thanks Andrea. I actually pulled the trigger and purchased a developers license for gravity forms this morning. Don't love their renewal business model but it made the most sense of all the third party solutions available for the client. Thank you for your help.

Yes, i have resolved the issue. Someone in the other post helped me out (The post was double posted. Apparently spam filter for studiopress was blocking my posts.) FYI had to use :
body.page.custom-background {
background: #000;
}

Thanks for reaching out to me.

Thank you. I should of came here first, google search ended up making me do more work then necessary. The last one did the trick.

Not entirely sure if I understand what you want to accomplish. Creating a Drop down menu like the example I used does not require any changes to the CSS. (unless you want to change colors/fonts) CSS you pasted controls the default color, hover color, spacing, fonts, etc.  The dropdowns I created for the example I posted were done entirely in the appearance, menu. Literally drag and drop. Drag elements a little to the right for dropdowns. CSS was then used to customize default colors and hover colors.

Here are some pretty basic css tutorials:

Which child theme are you using? Most if not all of them don't require you touch anything in css or php to create a dropdown. Make sure you have it enabled in theme setting. Genesis-theme settings click enable fancy dropdown. Then in dashboard go to appearance-menu add pages or custom links to your primary or secondary menu. Select the pages/links you want to add. Then you drag pages into the position you want them.

Hopefully this is helpful to you. In The CSS You can resize, change colors of dropdowns, hover colors etc. I've only been using studiopress a few months and have found sometimes the simplest answer is the one that works.

Is this what you had in mind for dropdowns? http://www.scheinedisabilitylaw.com/
