Styling Issues

First off, much thanks for the great theme! Love the avia layout builder. Just have a couple of small issues I need a little help with…
1) The main content background color shows as the LayerSliderWP background as well. So I’ve added the following code to try & separate them since I’m trying to have a light gray background for the main content & a white background for the main content.

.ls-wp-fullwidth-container,
.ls-wp-fullwidth-helper {
background-color: #fff!important;
}

This works to separate the two but the issue I’m having is that before the Layer Slider loads on the homepage, the area where it will appear shows half white & half light gray until it loads. I’ve tried a few different settings with the Layer Slider but nothing works. I’m using the full width skin but have it limited in size. I’ve tested in Firefox & Chrome.

2) The homepage is set to full width but all other pages have a sidebar. The problem is that the separator between the main content & the sidebar is wider at the top than the rest of the separator line. I’m guessing that it’s because of the menu.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
