there is a blank space on the left and right of the ad. How do I remove that?
there is nothing there to remove.
what would you like to achieve?
I have the Custom Google Search on my header, how to I align it to the left?
looks left aligned already.
if you want it really left on that line, maybe you need to add it before the other search box.
what is the code of that area?
(please use the http://pastebin.com/ for any code longer than 10 lines)
When a white leaderboard banner shows on top you see no difference because the sides within the ad slot are also white. But when a dark banner shows then there is great difference because the sides within the ad slot are still white. Is there a way I can at least change the color of the ad slot to black or make the white space disappear?
Sorry about the Custom Google Search. I meant to align it to the right. Once I have aligned it below the other search box but a black filled background border showed horizontally (by default) across the whole header. So I either want to align it to the right because the Menus also use a black border. But it will be better if there was a way to align in below the other search box without that black border showing.
well I managed to fix the Custom Google Search..
the ad araa has a css id which you could use to add a background color:
#google-1 { background: #123edf;}
try and add this anywhere to style.css of your theme.

thank you so much! that really solved my problem. I changed the color to #CCCCCC which is what I think is best.
Thanks again!
