Title: header image problems… Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # header image problems… * [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * (@vinov) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/) * hello. * [http://www.vinovwines.com](http://www.vinovwines.com) * I am still having some problems with the header on my site. I have a light blue rectangle under my image that is wider. * I am not sure why this is happening…any ideas? * Is there a way to bring back the rounded corners (or remove the rounded corners from the bottom of the page)? * Also… I would like to change the color of my links from light blue to purple. How do I do that? * Thank you all, * Anita Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [drmike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drmike/) * (@drmike) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526251) * Yup, you made your header image too narrow and the background color of your image is leaking through. 🙂 * Best bet would be to make your header image that much wider and color the extra bit the same color as the background of your page. * You’ll note that the background image of where your posts go is wider than just that white space. * Thread Starter [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * (@vinov) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526343) * Thanks Mike! * when you say “that much wider” and color the “extra bit the same color” could you give me some pointers or point to some pointers? * Also, could you explain the last sentence? * Thanks! * Michael * [Nicki Faulk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitallica/) * (@nitallica) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526344) * Check your stylesheet for #headerimg, and change the background color to match the background of the body of your site. 🙂 * Thread Starter [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * (@vinov) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526354) * Hello again, * I played around a little bit, I was able to change the background color, but it is a little off. * Michael * [Nicki Faulk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitallica/) * (@nitallica) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526358) * According to my color picker, your header’s background color is D5D6D7. But your body’s background color is E7E7E7 (which is actually in kubrickbgcolor.jpg, I know), so you might want to try that to match them up. 🙂 * Thread Starter [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * (@vinov) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526360) * THANKS Nitallica! * I have a hard time finding out what number equates to what color. Is there a site that I can type in a # and it gives me the color? * Also, I noticed now that the banner is a little smaller than the borders of the post. Can I widen the borders just a little? * And another…how does the “home page” plugin work. I would like to use it. * Michael * [Nicki Faulk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitallica/) * (@nitallica) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526361) * re: colors * I don’t know of any apps offhand that do that, but there are a TON of color chart webpages out there that do ([Google](http://www.google.com/search?q=html+color+chart)). There used to be an [extension for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/399/) that would give you the number and name of the color, but unfortunately it seems to have been abandoned. 🙁 * re: banner/borders * That, actually, is your background image (kubrickbg.jpg). IMO the easiest thing to do would be to adjust the size of your header image just a little bit to match. 🙂 * re: home page * You can pick any existing page as your “home” page. For instance, if you decided that the first thing you wanted your visitors to see when they visit [http://www.vinov.com](http://www.vinov.com) is your “About us” page, you’d simply go to Options, then Reading in your Admin panel. Under “Front page displays:” choose “A static page (select below)” and from there choose “About Us” from the drop down list. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526362) * re: colors and FF extensions * I use [ColorZilla](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/271/). * [Nicki Faulk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitallica/) * (@nitallica) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526363) * ColorZilla is nice as a colorpicker app/ext, but unfortunately it doesn’t give you a color chart to choose from like Web Color Names did. 🙁 * As far as color pickers go, my fav is a stand-alone app called [ColorMaster](http://www.byte-soft.com/colormaster.htm). It has a very nice magnifying function and a built-in screen shot maker. * Thread Starter [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * (@vinov) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526365) * Thanks everyone. * [http://www.vinovwines.com](http://www.vinovwines.com) * Would you mind giving it a look over and tell me if anything is out of wack? I still seem to have the label image on top a little smaller than the body – or is it just missing a border? * Also, the image on top seems to load slower than it used to. * Michael Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘header image problems…’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [vinov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinov/) * Last activity: [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-image-problems-3/#post-526365) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
