No problem. If you have any example sites you like the look of that are using the style you’re going for, feel free to post them and I’ll see if I can help you achieve it.
I came across a theme that offers two versions of what I was trying to accomplish with the header and menu. It showed up on the website of someone I know.
The first example is here. The baseline of the menu type aligns precisely with the baseline of the logo, and the entire unit functions as a sticky menu.
The other example appears when you click on the “Main Demo” button on that page. The logo defines the top and the menu defines the bottom of the header, which again functions as a sticky menu.
I’m not suggesting this theme is preferable to GP (far from it!), just that it provides examples of the desired results.
