It sounds like you’ve added your header image directly to the header.php file like this <img src="...." etc />, when in the Kubrick default theme, the header image is called in the stylesheet (style.css).
Try opening this file in your Theme editor and chaging this part of the css
#header {
background: #73a0c5 url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
}
to call your image instead of ‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’
All I did was replace the kubrickheader.jpg file with my own, that’s it. When I go to “Header image and Color”, I can see my banner. When I view my page, I don’t see anything but white.
I figured it out. My new kubrickheader.jpg was too big in size. I made it about 60kb
There are some trivial issues in this case you need to take care-:
#header {
background: #73a0c5 url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;
}
The code looks pretty exhaustive and it would be better if you could do away with this code.For non-coders ,this piece of code might even look bit gritty.

And you sir are a spammer… one of those pricks who actually has the time to sit down and do it manually- I guess it makes some sense because this you would think your primary intended audience.. but wait, lets think about that… No. On second hand most the folks here do their own thing…
but the funniest thing about the post to me is:
If you call that code exhaustive you are a eFFIng idiot and clown- and I don’t want you near my wordpress….
Well, Kubrick isn’t a noob friendly theme and it does the one thing that I think should be verboten and that is scatter code all over the place. Style and content are NOT separated as they should be. So for novices, this isn’t the best theme to cut one’s teeth on.
@sixfigga, have you seen Owen Winkler’s KubrickR? It lets you browse royalty free (but read the licenses for use of any image you are considering) FlickR photos and cuts them to create a nice header suitable for the Kubrick theme:

Drewactual,since i am new to this forum it would be better if you could clarify on what basis did you call me a “spammer”?
sure.
you add a nonsense statement that has no bearing in the topic, and finish off with a nice little link to a pay-for theme site…
can it be anymore clear?
This seems like a good place to ask this question without starting a whole new topic:
Is there a way to change the banner on every page? I’m trying to create “areas” – so having a banner with one image in the main section, another image on an About page, etc etc.
I read something somewhere about using multiple themes for different pages, but I can’t retrace my steps and find the information. I think I’d really rather just noodle around with my default theme and see if I can make it serve up a specific headerimg for each different page/area.
Any thoughts or should I just go soak my head? 🙂
Thanks in advance!
