Parabola Settings –> Layout Settings
Adjust the Content/Sidebar width sliders to max.
Thanks, skulldragon, but when I adjusted the sliders to max (which I assume meant sliding everything over to the right as far as they would go), it basically shifted the content and header over to the right, and I lost my sidebar. The header width didn’t change. Don’t know if you clicked on my link, but I use the presentation page and for the rest of the site, use two columns with sidebar on the right as the layout.
I appreciate your effort – any other ideas/thoughts?
I am having the same exact issue. I would like my header to fit the width of the screen. But it won´t do it. I´ve been reading that there are some changes that we can make with the editor, but I didn´t quite get it.
I am still looking, if I find out anything, I´ll let you know.
Hey guys!
For linbmcd, you can make the background black to match with the image using this:
#header-full {
background: #000;
}
That way the image won’t get stretched out, or have the nav links over your image text 🙂
For rvargas1981, if your situation is different, or linbmcd if you’d like to use a different image or don’t mind the text being covered, this will work:
#header-full {
background: url(your image link here) no-repeat;
/*if your image doesn't cover the area with it's natural dimensions use the code below as well*/
background-size: 100%;
background-color: #colorthatmatchesyourimage;
}
And if you are replacing the header image with the above method, you can either remove the original from your theme settings, or just hide it using this:
#bg_image { display: none; }
Cheers!
Hey SomewhatRounded,

But unfortunately, that didn’t change a thing :(. But I appreciate the attempt.
Cheers back!
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I’m embarrassed to admit how simple this was, but happy to share. To visually extend my header, which already had a black background, I navigated to: Appearance>Parabola Settings>Color Settings>General>Background.
“Background” has four options, which have pop ups to identify them when you click on each field:
Header background
Main Site Background
Footer Widgets Area Background
Footer Background
I clicked on “Header Background” and changed the color to #00000, which is black. Voila!
I realize that this is not the same as “stretching” the header so the whole image takes up the width of the screen, but it accomplished what I needed.

Thank you so much for the answer. I am gonna try it tonight, hopefully that will work, and I´ll let you know.
Thanks again
