[Theme: Responsive] Removing #Featured

Hi,

I’ve installed the WordPress them: Responsive. I’ve managed to get the #featured box under the menu into one column, but want to have it just as a slider image. Currently, I have the slider with a box behind it (the box being larger than the slider in height). I’ve made the #featured box transparent, so it’s not visually bad, but it’s left too much of a space between the menu and the slider image. Is there any way to remove this #featured box? Or some way to reduce the height of the #featured box?

I’m working on a local host and through a child theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Andy
