Hi @rigpa1
Your problem is coming from two smaller issues:
1. Before the slider there is a hidden heading which has a container with bottom margin:
.grt h1, .grt p, .grt ul, .grt ol, .grt blockquote, .grt pre, .grt dl, .grt dd, .grt .center, .grt .block, .grt .aligncenter, .grt .alignnone, .grt .post_image, .grt .post_image_box, .grt .wp-post-image, .grt .caption, .grt .wp-caption, .grt .alert, .grt .note, .grt .box, .grt .footnotes, .headline_area {
margin-bottom: 27px;
}
coming from here: wp-content/thesis/skins/classic-r/css.css
2. Your other problem is the fill mode and slider size
It’s based on the “Slide background image fill” option: https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/56-slider-settings-general
how your images look like in the slider. You changed the default the “fill” option (which makes the image as big as it needs to be to cover the whole slider) to fit, which means that if the slider and image ratios differ, the image won’t cover the whole slider but will be resized to fit into it.
To avoid this behavior you could change your slider’s size: https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/59-slider-size to have the same size as your images or use the fill mode to “fill” instead.
