Changing Headers

Go into the style.css file and change the header reference. It is usually under #header or #headerimg. Also, check in the header.php file to see if some CSS style code regarding the header has been put in there. Some authors put header code there though it should all be in the style.css file.

Thanks for your reply. Any idea on where to go to find headers I could use as replacements? Would the replacement themes for Kubrick work for me using Dots? Any other info on changing this would be helpful.

What do you mean by “replacement themes for Kubrick”???

For your header go to the style.css and find this:
#header {
background: #5A634E;
background: url(images/header_background.gif) no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #4B5340;
border-width: 0 1px 2px 1px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
height: 98px;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
top: 0;
width: 768px;
}

and delete the second line:
background: url(images/header_background.gif) no-repeat;

There will be no image.
The other option is: find a picture/image you want, save it as “my_pretty_header.gif” (or .jpg whatever) and upload it in the images folder of the theme AND modifiy the above line in your style sheet accordingly.

moshu I think the code above is going to be very unstable in IE. From there it would be necessary to hack or a bork is inevitable I would think.

my friend, I copied it from his css file ??
And ealvin wanted know where to go to change and/or delete the image. Well, in the style.css that he’s using I found where it is.

I wasn’t suggesting that you actually wrote the stuff. It looks horribly familiar…

ealvin: you can get some pre-made header graphics here(crop to the size you want), or email me with what you want and I’ll make one for you. 2notch at cableone dot net

2notch – that is a fabulous site you have there and a very popular resource I would think. If you are Kubrick users guys it is worth the trip. Header imgs for every taste.

moshu, i deleted the line you suggested but I still see the image, any ideas?

Hmmmm, I just discovered that while it didn’t take the small image out it did take out the pattern in the header. I’ll got to the dots default and add it back in.

Root – Thanks for the thumbs up! I was averaging 3000 hits per month before I put up the header art. March has had 87,000 hits so far and still going so someone must be looking at it. I just hope it proves to be useful to those who need it. My contribution to the cause!

ealvin, that’s exactly what you asked in the title of this thread: “changing headers”… header = the big green stuff at the top of the page ??

We’re not meant to be solving the problem moshu. We are meant to be solving the question the OP intended to ask. Consults crystal bal………. ??

I am having a similar problem with the default template. I created a personalheader.jpg and put in the images directory . Nothing has changed. I erased the two lines it said to erase…what now?

Thanks.

Areca – a thought – how big is your img ?
