 * Hello,
 * Not sure why you want to decrease the menu wrapper? but here is your custom css
   code:
 *     ```
       #mainnav-mobi ul > li > a {
           padding-top: 5px;
           padding-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * you can use custom css plugin to add the code in above.

 * Thanks for your help!
    I would like to decrease the width of the black rows so
   there is not so much space when the drop down menu is clicked. Is this possible?
   Thanks so much!

 * Unfortunately, it does not shrink the width of the black rows, only in height.
   I tried playing around with padding – left and right as well but no luck!

 * Oh you want to decrease the width? sorry, the code in above is to decrease the
   height.
 * Try these css code below to decrease the width:
 *     ```
       nav#mainnav-mobi {
           width: 60%;
           position: inherit;
       }
       ```

 * Exactly what I was looking for!
    One more question: Is it possible for the page
   to stay put. When I hit the drop down menu it pushes the page down instead of
   covering the slider image/ page header … etc….? Not a huge deal if not 🙂

 * Hmm need to replace the last code in above using this:
 *     ```
       nav#mainnav-mobi {
           width: 45%;
           position: absolute;
           left: 28%;
       }
       ```
   
 * you can adjust the `left` value from these code
