   Hi

   I have a very important question...

   I want to use the Twenty Ten Theme as basis for my new portal. But I want to customize the design to meet my needs. I want the whole theme to be 960 pixels wide and changed some settings in the style.css file. But I have a serious problem with the header image. When going to the Custom Header (under Appearances) in the admin menu, I see that the only option is to use 940 × 198 pixels images for my header. As mentioned above I have now changed the styles a little bit to prepare for a custom design, but how can I implement a header image of 960px (width) and 488px (height)if the only option I have is 940 × 198 pixels? I tried with the image I want to use but when the image appears it says that I must crop it to fit in. How can I override that?

   Thank you in advance!

   Andy

   check functions.php of the theme around line 105:

   define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_width', 940 ) );
   	define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'twentyten_header_image_height', 198 ) );

   changing the numbers there might solve your problem.

   Hi alchymyth

   Your suggestion worked great. Thanks :)

   I need more help, but it is related to the menu. In Twenty Ten Theme I see the menu right below my new implemented header image, but is there a chance that I can have the menu in the middle of my header graphic like this example?

   try to add a 'position:relative; top: -150px;' to the style of #access in style.css:

   #access {
   	background: #000;
   	margin: 0 auto;
   	width: 940px;
   	display:block;
   	float:left;
   position:relative;
   top: -150px;
   }

   Your suggestion works very fine. The only thing I had to do is some different settings for my own solution. Again, thanks!
