3 things: position tagline / button shadow / grey bar

Hello, I'm fine-tuning the look 'n feel of my new site www.brimbrom.com and I have a few little problems/questions: - I want to remove the shadows behind the menu buttons (hover/active). When the buttons have a dark color the shadow looks okay, but I want to give them a lighter color. - I'd like to place my tagline Create > Art > Communicate at the same height as the text '.com' (from my logo). Is that possible? Right now the tagline is positioned a little bit too high (go to www.brimbrom.com to see what I mean). - I've removed the top grey bar in the header directly in style.css, is that the right way? Greetings, Jos
