to take away the header box, write the following into your child theme styles sheet:
#masthead hgroup {
display: none;
}
to replace the patchwork background image, write the following into your child theme styles sheet (when using the “maude” them):
.style-maude #masthead {
background-image:url(images/patchwork.jpg);
border-bottom: 10px solid #46433a;
}
and replace (images/patchwork.jpg) with the location of your image, like for example:
(“http://yourimagelocation.jpg”)
Fixed it!
It had to do with the Retina displays on iphone5 and new ipads. I had to get rid of the “Retina Backgrounds” section in the styles.css file.
