 * Link to what? My page which has nothing on it or a link to the simplex theme 
   which is easily found in the extend section?

 * Well – it’s assumed when someone asks a question here that they have a site up
   and running, which was why I posed the question looking for a link to your site.
   Just naming a theme really isn’t that helpful. Anyone willing to offer help would
   have to search for the theme, download and extract it, and examine the code –
   while a link to an existing site would be a simple process.

 * If you want to place a background on the header, there is a file called “default.
   css” inside “css” folder. You will find this line
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background: #282923;
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace that code with the background you want to put.. notice the path has ../
   because I am editing the file inside css folder.
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background: #282923 url(../images/social.jpg) no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps!
 * EDIT: The css folder lies here in case you are wondering..
    wp-content\themes\
   simpleX\css
