Customize Header

Hi,

Attitude theme is great and I love it but I would like to replace the existing header with my custom header with links, images, background color…etc. The current custom header option only supports image. Also I tried the ‘Header/Footer’ plugin but it is not really replacing the existing header but adding on top part of existing page. Not so nice.
I also read something about unhooking existing header and adding your own but I do not know how to do it in Attitude. I wonder if anyone can give some pointer on removing attitude header hook and adding a new header function.

I think it probably needs to add some php code in functions.php in a child theme
something like…

<?php
// Now we add our new function to our Action Hook
add_action('init','childtheme_welcome_blurb', 15);

// First we make our function
function childtheme_welcome_blurb() { ?>
 <p>Welcome to my new header</p>
<?php
remove_action( 'init','attitude_header',15);

} // end of our new function childtheme_welcome_blurb

Thanks in advance!
