Another Kubrick header problem

    I realize this has been asked a million times before. But I’ve read on these forums what I could find, and none of the answers really worked for me.

    I want to change the header in the deafult Kubrick theme, so that it no longer shows the colours and text that you can choose from the admin panel. I want it to display only my custom jpg.

    What I have done so far is to create a header image called personaljeader.jpg, and placed it in the images folder in the theme. Then I opened the header-img.php file and replaced both “kubrickheader.jpg” references with “personalheader.jpg”.

    Now, when I load my site (which is located here http://www.skrir.dk/nexusbjerget/) I can see that my own image is in place, bacuse part of it stick out, but the colours from the Kubrick theme still cover it.

    I don’t want to change to another theme.

    I have only little experience with php.

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me,

    – Denge

    I am having the same issue. Can’t get it resolved. Will let you know if I hear something.

    You do not need to know php, only some knowledge of css (style sheets) will do. I have not tried to change the colors, but the sticking out I did solve. Within the theme directory you have to edit the file style.php. In this file you have to adjust the image size. You need to change: #headerimg and #header. Within these tags you have to change the height to the height of your image.

    My guess is that you can change the colors here too, but do not take my word for it. I just started using wordpress since 6 days.

    That’s where I looked too, and I see an HTML value for the block of color that appears over the header image, but setting this to transparent makes the entire header block disappear so I hesitate to start deleting chunks of code.

    I’m backing up the originals so I can restore it if I screw it up, but after a few hours, it it more then tedious to keep getting nowhere.

    phsdv- altering the size of the image as specified within those areas of the CSS does no good. I tried a different sized image, as well as working directly on the original image and retaining the original pixel dimensions. The problem remains the same as described in post one of this thread.

    I did not check you site, so I did not fully understand your problem. My excuses for that.
    It is interesting though, I did something very similar but my new header jpg is in front of the colored one. The colored on is still there but barely visible. I’ll check the php+css code again. I want to get this resolved too.

    [EDIT] In the style.css I changed the color to transparent, I am not sure if it helps but maybe you can give it a try:
    #header {
    /*background: #73a0c5 url('images/blogheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;*/
    background: transparent url('images/blogheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
    }
    Also I made the same change in the #header tag:
    #header {
    /*background-color: #73a0c5;*/
    background-color: transparent;
    margin: 0 0 0 1px;
    padding: 0;
    height: 400px;
    width: 758px;
    }

    phsdv- I did that in part. For the life of me, I am thinking I only did it to one or the other, but maybe I did it to both, just not at the same time. You might be onto something though. Heck, you are on to something!

    Anyway, I came across the K2 template, and decided it was more what I was looking, and was able to solve the header image problem right off.

    Of course now I have a few new issues, but that’s for another thread I guess. Going to search the forum and see if I can;t find any answers first though.
