How do I remove the gap below the header and above top-1?

Hello,

I am not sure what is triggering that to show, but you can force it off with the following in the custom.css file:

#s5_header_spacer {
display:none !important;
}

Worked.  Thank you.

Could I ask one more question?  Can I limit the graphic used on the top-1 module to just the index page and not the other pages?

Do you mean the background image on that row? That image will apply to every page using that row. You can either create a second template style with the Joomla Style Manager and assign one style to just the homepage. Or just not use that row on other pages, row2 and row3 are identical to row1.

Which is these options is easiest to do?  How do I create a second template style?

Hello,

Using row1 on just the homepage is by far the easiest. You would just assign modules to the top_row1 positions via the module manager, but only assign them on the homepage with the menu assignments tab.

For styles, in the Joomla Template Manager just select the template with the radio check box. Then click duplicate at the top right left corner. That will create two copies of the template settings, and you can use the Assignments tab in the template configuration to assign what menu items you want each style to apply to. This is harder to manage because you then have two separate sets of settings that you need to keep in sync.
