updating Header in Kubrick

  • Hi all:
    Pls check out our site at https://blogs.timesunion.com/wartime/

    We’re using Kubrick because we want to design a very simple site, with an image and an area of HTML text above the posts.

    Problems:
    1) how do I get rid of the ‘Kubrick’ blue that displays beneath my personalheader.jpg?
    2) how do I add a text area below the personalheader.jpg to display above the posts, similar to the “Share Your Stories” area we have on our ‘old’ wartime blog seen at https://timesunion.com/blogs/wartime

    Thanks all. Having fun working with these files, but it does taking some time to reach a comfort level with them all.

    Mike

  • You can call Kubrick anything but “simple” ??
    The blue thing is a picture – check your headr.php file; images for header and background are referenced there.

    For adding a text – probably the same place: header.php, where the <body> starts and below the header.

    Actually I think they already deleted the image, but I got lost trying to wade through the css.

    So Kubrick might not be the best template for me, huh? Can you all recommend the ultimate basic template for our needs. I really want to work with a simple theme and build upon it.
    Having said that… I’m knee-deep in Kubrick already so I might as well persevere, right?

    re: adding text. Thanks Moshu. Exactly what I needed. Worked great!

    re: changing the default blue background. I’m stumped. I changed the name of the default kubrickbgcolor.jpg to kubrickbgcolor_old.jpg, uploaded a new kubrickbgcolor.jpg (a greenish color I did in Photoshop), cleared cache and I still see the default blue.

    Thanks all.

    You’ll have to change the relevant files in header.php as well.

    You might want to check out K2, the successor to Kubrick. Still in testing but pretty stable, check it out over at the authors site.

    In header.php, I have commented out everything in the Style section except:

    #headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}

    Not sure what to change in that code snippet.

    Can you tell me where to find the K2 theme? I think I’ve looked everywhere, but obviously I haven’t.

    K2 here.
