PageMix margins - help needed from CSS gurus please!

Hi everyone
Could really do with some CSS help regarding MultiThemes' PageMix theme. Here's what I can't figure out:
1. When I go with a vertical navigation only (using a RW Styled Text page for example) the main body section retains the top margin which is there to accommodate the 'page' navigation. I'm not going to use that style of navigation and really want to close up that gap - is there any way to do it?
2. On pages where there's a long body section (and it's longer than the sidebar), there's virtually no 'footer' margin in the browser window when scrolled down. Any way to increase it?
I'm trying to learn this stuff, honest! But any hand holding in the meantime would be much appreciated. I did also mail MultiThemes, but no reply as yet - maybe it's their policy not to give advice on theme mods.
Cheers
Robin

#contentContainer #top {
height:60px;
margin-top:-5px;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
... in the Page Inspector> Header> CSS try the following...
#contentContainer #top {
height: 0px;
}

But I've just had a further play around and I see that modifying the side_content1 and side_content2 (shadow) values starts to remedy the problem. Looks do-able.
Thanks for your input!

I can help you reclaim a bit of that empty real estate at the top of the page:
#pageHeader2{ height:0; }On your "crowded footer" question I've come up with this:
adjust the "50px" to suit your own tastes
Hope this helps,
Brian

Hi biggy,
did you find a solution with modifying the side_content1 and side_content2? I am struggling with the same problem here without a solution.
Thanks for your answer.

Brian - the margin-bottom thing works perfectly - thanks so much. But whilst the #pageHeader2 height mod does the trick (partially) for text, it produces a very undesirable effect when there are also images aligned right or left, as I found out since there was one right at the top of my body content.
chaka - I've ended up taking the #contentContainer #top height down to 0px, as suggested by Ed, and then setting #side_content1 and #side_content2 top values to 3px. This works for me, as I have all content and sidebar shadows turned off. When they're turned on the modified values interact with the shadows in ways I don't currently understand, and I quickly decided life's too short for me to try to reverse-engineer this with my limited grasp of it all right at the moment.
