 * Hello,
    I would have a header image at the head of my blog, but I don´t have 
   any plan how to do it. In the admin-panel, I didn´t see anything about a header
   image. At “Header Image and Color” I can only change the color of the existing
   header text, but how ’bout an image? Does it work with every theme, and where
   I have to build this in?

 * The adjustable header color is exclusive to the Kubrick theme.
    In your FTP client,
   go to wp-content/images/kubrickheader.jpg, open it with your favorite image program,
   and insert your image, save it as kubrickheader.jpg, and replace the old one 
   on your server.

 * No. Header customisation is theme-specific. Some themes offer header customisation
   options. many don’t.
 * You will need to create your own header. If you’re using the default them, your
   header image will need to be about 760 px wide by 200 px high. You’ll then need
   to upload your new header to the themes/default/images folder and edit line 38
   of style.css on the themes/default folder as follows:
 *     ```
       #header {
       	background: #73a0c5 url('images/filename_of_your_new_header') no-repeat bottom center;
       	}
       ```

   header…also includes a PSD template for Kubrick.
