 * Hi!
 * First of all: Thank you for your great theme!
 * Iam currently building my first wordpress site and try to figure out how to adjust
   your theme.
    I have an issue I need a bit help with:
 * **1.** I used the build-in function to upload a custom header. It worked well
   but the header does not adjust correctly to the screens width. I uploaded a screenshot
   where you can see whats wrong.

 * It would be great if someone could tell me what’s wrong and how I can fix this
   issue!
 * Thanks!

 * Hey there MD490,
 * Have you uploaded the image with the suggested dimensions or used built in function
   to crop the uploaded image?
 * Also adding URL to your site would help in possibly solving this for you 🙂
 * Best regards,

 * Hi!
 * I created the header-image in the suggested dimension – with the results you 
   can see in the screenshot I posted.
 * After my first attempts didn’t work I made a new, wider header and cropped it
   after I uploaded it – same result.
 * The site is normally in maintenance-mode but I will deactivate this mode so you
   guys cann see what I mean! 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again MD490,
 * This could be fixed with some custom CSS. The easiest way to do that, if your
   theme doesn’t already have custom CSS tab, would be to add it in your site using
   the following plugin
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 * Once the plugin is installed and activated you can add this code to Appearance
   >> Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .header-image img {
       width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
