Copy the header.php file from the parent theme and paste it into your Child Theme
Yes, I’ve done that. But, I dont know how to edit the header.php to make it do that?
I mean, I don’t know how to edit the header.php to make the header image stretch across the whole screen with no margins…

I think you have 2 choices,
– Edit the header.php file to move the image (and title?) outside and above of ‘<div id="page">‘
– Edit your Child Theme style.css file and add styles to remove the padding on the ‘<div id="page">‘ and reapply it to all other elements (applicable) apart from the header image.
Thank you so much!
I implemented the second method somewhat successfully; however, one last issue I am having is that when the layout is all the way expanded the content is not center in the background..?
I would like it to expand like this site: thisiscolossal.com
so that at larger than full width, the site is centered…
Here is my style.css
[entire file removed – that’s way too much code to post here]
Ah, nevermind! I just needed to take out the margin-left and margin-right=0
