How can I make the header and body into one like vbulletin.org?

[Juggernaut]

I currently have vb 4.1.3 running on my site, and I've gotten rid of the spaces between the header and the forum body, however when I add block shadows to my site, it doesn't look just right, as I have two shadows at the same time, one for the header and one for the body wrapper, and the shadows look darker where they meet, is there any way to make the forum body and header into one piece, so that it can all be modified as one?

Anybody has any ideas on this?

Comparing a 4.x site to a 3.6 layout is almost like comparing apples and oranges - totally different style.

A link to see what you have and an image to show what you want would help.

This is the link to my site. http://www.cuscatlekos.com/foro.php
And I would like to use only one shadow for the whole page, as it is, there are two shadows, one for the header, and one for the body wrapper, the shadow is darker where they meet, right around the navbar. Here is an image to illustrate.

I think your darker shadow where the header and body meet is because the two shadows 'add' together due to your box-shadow properties:

.above_body {
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.3) 0%, rgba(50, 50, 50, 0) 25%) repeat scroll 0 0 #004380 !important;


}

main-r...6460435 (line 1)

.above_body {
    box-shadow: 0 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
and
.body_wrapper {
    box-shadow: 0 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);

Is there a way around this cosmetic error? or should I just get rid of the shadows? I tried using .above_body, body_wrapper together in additional css, but it didn't fix the issue, I still ended up with two shadows. Is there a way to include the header in the body wrapper or just abandon the shadows?

[Lynne]

It looks to me like you fixed it.

[Juggernaut]

Not really fixed, I'm just hiding the area where the shadows meet, but I'm still using two box shadows, just had to play with the shadows to get a result that didn't show the shadows to much.

[Lynne]

Well, if it works, then it works.

Thank you Lynne. I really apreciate you taking the time to help.
