# Replace background header with fixed image

 * I want to use an image of 1040px that matches the max-width of the site in the
   css. I don’t want to use a massive 1600px image that overlaps the width of the
   site.
 * How do I go about it.
    I understand basic css but little coding.
 * TIA

 * Can you just set it to have background size of 100%?
 * BTW the width of the site is relative to your screen.

 * According to my reading of the CSS in 2013 the max-width is set to 1040px?
