Thanks for answering if a bit vague.
I take it its the header I should be editing as it relates/ links to the logo in global settings. With the tr.gif file being the background to the image I use as my logo, which if I reduce in size affects it slightly however I want it so all the blank space is usable. Also the greetings/intoduction block filled from global settings doesn't span the whole page so the right hand column is a blank block also.
If I change to a different layout such as ecommerce the menu bar fits this right hand side so surely as I use classic I should be able to this. If not then as I don't like the colours in ecommerce I may need to change these, more work!
A proper manual would be handy, still all in all I am a viart cart enthusiast tho
