Header styling question

[Lost]

I hope some one can help me with this. I'm trying to get the grey border on the side of the forum to extend to the top of the screen.

I've run out of things to try.

Set a transparent background for this property:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Header and Navigation -> Header

My apologies for not being clearer.
I want to keep the blue header background behind the logo, but I also want to extend the grey border to the top of the screen, like this:

Get rid of the margins:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> General -> Page Width Controller

Thanks for your help Jake, it's much appreciated.

I removed the margins in the page width controller, but that removes the grey border on the left side and the right side of the forum completely.

I removed the margins in the page width controller, but that removes the grey border on the left side and the right side of the forum completely.

...and add those same margins to this property:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> General -> Body

So you remove the margins from Page Width Controller and add them to Body.

Jake, thank you! That does exactly what I need.

I wish I could like your post twice.

This "works", but let my whole site flow the left on the screen, tried to insert align:center in the body section but it does not seem to work?

Try using margin: auto; for the Body. Just a guess.

If the problem persists then I need to see it. Post your URL.

Jake, your guess was right, thank you!

How do I do this with a fixed width fora? Whenever I reduce my browser real estate, this happens:

Can you post the forum URL so I can debug the style?
