[SOLVED] Bar for top of page

Hello,

I am working with atahualpa 3.6.7 and I am wondering what is the best way to make a bar that 'sticks' to the top of the page - above, spans 100% of the browser and really separate (looking anyway) from the rest of the site. I want to use that space for social media stuff and log in links...

I have tried a few different ways without getting the results I want so I'm turning to you guys.

Also, on a side note, is it possible to relocate the menu bar so that it sits along side (to the right of) the logo?

Thank you in advance for your time and attention to these matters.
