In admin under Users->Your Profile, clear the Biographical info section. The author box appears when there is biographical info. Without that info the author box is disabled.

Simple answer: No.

Complicated answer: Yes, if you are sneaky:

Create a header image with a solid color and add it. Then set the header background color to the same as the image. That way you’ll get a blank header with a solid color.

Interesting. I need to investigate this further.

The whitespace on either side is a deliberate design decision. The theme is designed to display the content in the center of the screen whenever possible and always display the text in the most easily readable line length.

On wider screens left and right aligned images break out of the frame to allow for better use of available space. I am working on an option to allow users to turn this off but as above what you are seeing is intentional.

Your site is in development mode so I can’t see the demo page. If you take it out of development mode I’ll take a look at what you are referring to with the page and the menu.

This is happening because Disqus is replacing the entire comments function in the theme and thereby bypassing the existing styling that keeps the comments contained. I may update the theme to address this in the future.

Let me pitch in here with some crazy ideas:

1. How about using the Featured Image function to control the header image on specific pages? Create a new image size that matches the header image, then add the images you want as featured images, and create a conditional that displays the featured image in the header on selected pages much like what Giorgio has.

2. Or, use a custom field to collect the custom header image.

3. Or, make a custom meta box with an image uploader for the custom header image.

Images are tricky. They usually carry a lot of extra info you don’t need. I like to use SmushIt to crunch down the image sizes before uploading.
