However on the hoverover the submenu seems to have an massive gap on the hover over color. Do i change the ul ul li?
this is the code so far:
#cssmenu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu li { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu a { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu ul {list-style: none;}
#cssmenu ul ul {padding: 0;}
#cssmenu a {text-decoration: none;}
#cssmenu {height: 70px; background-color: rgb(35,35,35); box-shadow: 0px 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4);}
#cssmenu ul li {
float: left;

If i understand you correctly you want to remove the red gaps above/bellow the text in the popup right?
You can do this by giving the <a> tag inside the popup a smaller line-height. At the moment the huge gap comes from the large line-height in the rule #cssmenu ul li a {
