 * Hello I have the Rookie Theme installed and all works fine. I have uploaded a
   header image (not a logo) with 1000px with and 150px height. But when I open 
   my page over my mobile phone this image is not responsive and I can only see 
   a little bit of this image. The images in the articles work fine.
    Can anyone
   help?

 * Hey everyone!
 * We’ve just released Rookie version 1.3.9 with an option to display the header
   as an image (rather than a background). This enables a fully responsive header
   graphic which can be used in place of a logo and title.
 * Here’s how to switch to the responsive header:
    1. From your WP Admin, go to **Appearance** and update Rookie to version 1.3.9
    2. Go to **Appearance** → **Customize**
    3. Click **Header Image**
    4. From the dropdown, change **Style** to **Image**
 * This will switch the header from a background image to an image that will automatically
   resize proportionally. Please note that the logo and title will not be contained
   in this header, so you may wish to add it to the image. You may also want to 
   turn off the default logo and title:
    1. Go to **Appearance** → **Customize** again
    2. Click **Site Identity**
    3. If you have a **Logo**, click **Remove**
    4. Uncheck the **Display Header Text** checkbox
 * Thanks for your feedback [@kingmar84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kingmar84/)

 * Hi Brian,
 * i have noticed the option to display as image but this creates a large space 
   above the header image after enabling this option.
 * Is this something that can be fixed?
 * thanks

 * [@overrryde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/overrryde/) Thanks for the feedback!
   Looks like the empty `.site-branding` div still has padding. This will be fixed
   in the next update. See this [GitHub commit](https://github.com/ThemeBoy/Rookie/commit/632c51696b91d64ae3a3f80dfdfdcc71e7e80ef6)

 * Is there something I can change in the coding now to fix it until update?
 * Thanks for the commit!

 * Hi Brian, i actually resolved it, didnt realise that it was as easy as just copy/
   pasting the new code in my sheets!
 * thanks again, works great now!
