Need Help Increasing the Thickness of the Top Menu

Hey there,

If anyone’s reading this. I’ve been trying to to increase the thickness (padding, I believe) of the top menu (aka top-navigation) just a little bit. I’m using a custom bg colour because it looks a bit nicer imo, but because of it it makes the top menu seem a little skinny. I’d like to increase the padding/thickness, but everytime I do it, it messes up the alignment with the rest of the website.

I’ve attached screenshots below: (They’re in a google drive folder accessable by link)

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

Brian (aka a noob, clearly)
