# Stretch Header Image

 * Hi,
    I want to use a wide banner image on my site. When I set the header image,
   there are two large areas of blank space on either side (when viewed on a desktop).
   Is there a way to have the banner image stretch the entire width of the page?
   I’m sure it’s a simple CSS edit, but I’m just learning how to edit code. Any 
   assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 * Hi AZBros. Welcome to the Hueman forum. Can you post a link to your site? That
   would help us to your configuration. Thanks.

 * I’m still working on it locally. Would a screenshot help?

 * The area I’m talking about would be the two dark gray spaces on the right and
   left of the banner, above the red colored header menu. I set the image size to
   the recommended size, but those boxes still show up. I’d just like to have the
   image automatically stretch to fill the entire top of the page.

 * If you have Customize > Global settings > General Design Options > Boxed Layout
   enabled, try disabling it.

 * Okay, I think I got it fixed. I increased the width of my header image to 1920px
   and didn’t crop it when selecting it in the theme customizer. So far it seems
   fine, looks like I didn’t have to edit any code afterall. Hopefully the above
   solution will help anyone else having a similar issue.
 * Also, thanks for your time anyhow, bdbrown, I really appreciate you looking into
   my issue and responding. I’ve got many other questions I’ll be posting on the
   forum. This is my favorite theme by a landslide, I’m just hoping to make a few
   more minor tweaks to make it perfect for my site.
