How to override args for custom-header from child theme?

    I’ve fell behind a bit on recent updates to WP things, and have found myself stumbling….

    How would one modify any of the args set when defining custom-header with add theme support from a child theme?

    My specific scenario is that I’ve widened the twenty twelve theme, and would like to modify the header width to match – specifically seen in twentytwelve_custom_header_setup within custom-header.php.

    function twentytwelve_custom_header_setup() {
	$args = array(
		// Text color and image (empty to use none).
		'default-text-color'     => '444',
		'default-image'          => '',

		// Set height and width, with a maximum value for the width.
		'height'                 => 250,
		'width'                  => 960,
		'max-width'              => 2000,

		// Support flexible height and width.
		'flex-height'            => true,
		'flex-width'             => true,

		// Random image rotation off by default.
		'random-default'         => false,

		// Callbacks for styling the header and the admin preview.
		'wp-head-callback'       => 'twentytwelve_header_style',
		'admin-head-callback'    => 'twentytwelve_admin_header_style',
		'admin-preview-callback' => 'twentytwelve_admin_header_image',
	);

	add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $args );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentytwelve_custom_header_setup' );

    Thanks in advance for any guidance! I’ve worn out Google, and haven’t had any coffee today – I’ll probably kick myself when I see it.

    I’ve tried what I think are the normal tricks… my own function on after_setup_theme with a lower priority, removing and readding support… I’m fumbling!

    this worked for me for the header height – no priority changes; code in functions.php of the child theme:

    function twentytwelvechild_custom_header_setup() {
	$header_args = array( 'height' => 175 );
	add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $header_args );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentytwelvechild_custom_header_setup' );

    I’ll try it again… I’m nearly certain I did the same

    I actuall copied the function from 2012 to my child theme, renamed it, edited it, and gave it a go, that didn’t work – I’ll copy what you’ve got here and give it a go, much appreciated

    I’ll be darned… whatever I did had a mistake obviously….

    Your code works perfectly, and thank you!
