# Unnecessary Margin/Padding?

 * I just recently downloaded the plugin, and have been having a few issues with
   it on the sites I put it on.
 * For the sake of ease, lets say the distance from the top of the page is set to
   0px.
 * When I’m not signed in, it is displayed perfectly at the top of the page.
 * When I am signed in though, it’s 32px lower than it should be.
 * It appears that it is creating a margin in order to compensate for the admin 
   bar. It’s also creating a padding on the menu itself.
 * In the FF dev tools I can see that:
 * In #responsive-menu.admin-bar-showing there is a top padding of 32px.
 * In #click-menu.admin-bar-showing there is a top margin of 32px.
 * Neither of these appears to be necessary, since the admin bar is fixed position
   and isn’t hiding any of the content underneath it.
 * Is this just an oversight in the plugin itself? I suppose I could overwrite both
   of those in my css file, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something.
 * Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

 * Hi FWWS,
 * Normally the admin bar creates its own margin but it may be that WordPress has
   changed how this works so I will take a look for a future version but you can
   simply over-write this style in your themes style.css file for now to remove 
   it.
 * Thanks for letting me know
 * All the best
