I thought I replied to this already. I have been talking to England, India, Australia at the same time. Opps, somebody got the wrong post.

After wasting the better part of a day going through Solpart menu css that there was nothing wrong with, I popped a forum question to Lee at DNNCreative.com (I am a subscriber).

Within minutes, Lee had the answer and directed me to his skinning vids.

The problem was in the fact that the main default css file holds some solpart code. If you don't bring all the styles into your skin, and set the border to 0, you get the white space I had referred to.

Thanks again to Lee. Scott, your sure know how to choose partners.
