 * Hi, this is my blog [http://www.lifepath4u.com](http://www.lifepath4u.com)
 * As you see at the top leaderboard banner, there is a blank space on the left 
   and right of the ad. How do I remove that?
 * Also, I have the Custom Google Search on my header, how to I align it to the 
   left?

 * there is nothing there to remove.
    what would you like to achieve?

 * 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?

 * 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.

 * 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!
