    Hello, I want a smaller header, not the image of the twelve eleven but the upper section, to be more acurate, here is a screenshot, I want the black section to be a little smaller

    Secondary, I want to remove the serch engine (and somehow to insert a gif photo there)

    Simple things :)

    esmi says to remove some lines from header.php and to make a child theme and probably to put it there with all the changes

    am I right?

    I'm not too hip on child themes since I just started using WP- so I essentially copied & modified the theme itself by renaming & removing references to "2011".

    But yes, the header is where I edited...I also checked/edited style.css as needed

    many people write about not editing the main files, I will do the thing with the child theme, but cutting something from the main header.php to move it to the other dont seem so right, of course am not someone html expert etc

    Your way is more suitable for me modifying until something crash :)

    edit I think this solution has to do with the image and not the upper section it says header width image :/

    Nah, I cannot find it on the css

    Ok, I'm gonna clarify since I had to explain myself to esmi again.

    I don't use WP's server or editor for my personal website. I have my site hosted elsewhere. To work on my site, I installed XAMPP (Windows app) which allows my to run a server with Apache, mySQL & PHP on my PC. When I'm done editing stuff, I upload to my server.

    That's why I have no problem modifying a copy of theme 2011.

    You absolutely CAN change things around in the header.

    This is my site which is WIP...I currently have it with the theme I'm working on since i have a question regarding background images.

    Like I said, I'm using a modified version of 2011.

    If you do not provide all of the relevant details in each topic, then don't be surprised if people make the wrong assumptions.

    Am back :)

    Am totally sure its a simple setting on a php or css,
    about making smaller height of the black background
    (look this screenshot please)

    http://www.omega-team.eu/images/1.jpg

    its where there is the search form and the site name

    ps (I found out that footer message can be changed through footer.php instead of child's, or function solution etc)

    @esmi, I'm sorry

    I posted ~6am rushing to get to the gym.

    Still new to WP & its forums- I didn't think about other people's workflow.

    Friends?

    search for =Menu in style.css & i believe it's #access

    can't remember for sure since I completely deleted the search bar in the header...look for it's id in the HTML & it's declaration in the CSS

    japanime, I'm a fan!
