# default theme help!

 * Have had great luck theming off of the default kubrick theme – but I can’t get
   the header to fit my larger image! Where do I code for a larger height? I’ve 
   looked through forum posts and help pages for hours, and none of the solutions
   work for me.
 * here’s the site: [notice how the bottom of the header is truncated?](http://www.alexandrascookiedreams.com/blog/index.php)
 * Here’s the CSS:
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background: #c7e0ff url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat top center;
       	height: 230px;
   
       	}
        #headerimg 	{
       	margin: 7px 9px 0;
       	height: 230px;
       	width: 760px;
   
       	}
       ```
   
 * It should be 760 x 230, but no matter where I code in a height attribute, it 
   just ignores it. I haven’t found any references to height in the header.php, 
   or the functions.php though they both reference either the header image or the
   CSS header tags. Where is the default theme setting its header image size parameters?
 * Any ideas? Thanks!

 * Looking at your [stylesheet](http://alexandrascookiedreams.com/blog/wp-content/themes/ACD_theme/style.css)
   there is two set of #header style (duplicated) so the CSS is probably conflicting
   with each others.
 * find and remove the below code (style.css on line 29)
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background: #c7e0ff url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat top center;
       	height: 230px;
   
       	}
       ```
   
 * and also remove (style.css on line 287)
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background-color: #73a0c5;
       	margin: 0 0 0 1px;
       	padding: 0;
       	height: 200px;
       	width: 758px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * then add
 *     ```
       #header{
        background: #73A0C5 url(images/kubrickheader.jpg) no-repeat scroll 0% 50%;
        height: 230px;
        margin: 0pt;
        padding: 0pt;
       }
       ```
   
 * The width of the header is control by the “#page” so you wont need to assign 
   the width prop within the #header (thats why its called inheritance).
