As you can see from the picture, my Nice Menu does not expand all the way across the site or all the way up. The problem with it going up to the top of my header is theme related and we can address that later (I hope).

What I was wondering is if there was something I could change in the CSS to make the menu span the full width of the page. By either creating empty purple space to the right or by adding padding to all of the links. I would prefer to add purple space.

Here is the code I've changed so far:

nice_menu.css

/*
  This file contains the basic logic for nice menus, and should not be
  edited.  To customize the menus, it's recommended to create a custom CSS
  file using nice_menus_default.css as a template, then configure the module
  to use your custom CSS file (this is done in the global settings tab of
  the theme administration.)
*/

/* Below should fix menu being a few pixels away in some themes, and menus disappearing behind other stuff. */
