# Excess Margin/Padding

 * Hi!
 * I’m currently using the latest version of WP, and the Mantra Theme.
 * (My site -> [http://www.ImperiumUO.com](http://www.ImperiumUO.com))
 * I seem to be having issues with excess margin/padding on my theme, and haven’t
   a clue how to remove it. When uploading a background image, the right side of
   the image seems to “crinkle” and looks absolutely hideous.
 * When I change the background color of theme (via Mantra’s theme settings), I 
   can see a substantial amount of space on the right side of the screen, which 
   appears to be an issue with excess margin or padding (not sure which, if either).
 * I’ve performed at least a dozen searches, and haven’t been able to find a solution
   to the problem, let alone someone with the same issue. I should also mention 
   I’m using a widescreen 1980-1080 resolution, however the problem persist even
   with a different resolution. Expanding the background image only worsens the “
   crinkling” and shrinking it just looks plain silly.
 * Any help would be immensely appreciated! Thank you.

 * Just to note, adjusting the background color of the site seems to help with the
   odd margin/padding, (rendering it invisible by giving it the same exact color
   as the image) – but this still leaves me unable to customize my background image
   further, only being able to have graphics or additional imagery on the left side.
 * Not quite sure what the turn around is for support here (I’ve seen a dozen new
   topics answered within the last hour or so), but mine has gone untouched. This
   isn’t a complaint, merely an observation and a request that if my help request
   isn’t informative enough, then a response asking for more information would be
   greatly appreciated.
