 * You don’t supply either a link to your site, or tell us what theme you are using,
   so it’s not easy to help. However, from what you say, it sounds as though it’s
   the image that you need to manipulate rather than your theme. If your image has
   a white background when it’s not being displayed on your site, it will still 
   have a white background when displayed on your site.
 * I’m not sure, either, why you say you want to make your header invisible. If 
   you do that and if your image is a part of your header, it will make your image
   invisible as well.
 * Can you supply some more detail to help us understand what you have and what 
   you’d like to achieve?
 * Thanks

 * The site is [http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk](http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk)
 * The image is on a transparent background but that itself is shown on a white 
   background and I want no background.

 * You can’t not have a background. You either get an inherited one or a default
   one. In this case the elements in this area are inheriting from the background
   on the #content div, which is white.
 * There are a number of elements in the area you are concerned with. The first 
   one is the #top-social-profiles area. The CSS for this is:
 *     ```
       #top-social-profiles {
         height: 32px;
         margin-right: 15px;
         padding-top: 10px;
         text-align: right;
       }
       ```
   
 * To get the body background colour (#0F1012) behind this element you need to set
   the right margin to zero (margin-right: 0;), set the right padding to 15px (padding-
   right: 15px;) and set the background colour to the body’s background colour (
   background-color: #0F1012;).
 * For the area below the social profiles you just need to set the background colour
   on the #header div to #0F1012 (background-color: #0F1012).
 * If you do not have total control over your theme’s code, you should, of course,
   do all this in a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) since
   it’s the only recommended way to make changes to themes.
 * Your new rules would (assuming you did also want to change the background on 
   the social profiles) look like this:
 *     ```
       #top-social-profiles {
         margin-right: 0;
         padding-right: 15px;
         background-color: #0F1012;
       }
   
       #header {
         background-color: #0F1012;
       }
       ```
