  • Header image is controlled in the header.php file. Your current code is:

    body { background: url("https://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickbgcolor.gif") fixed center top; }
    #page { background: url("https://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickbg.gif") repeat-y top; border-left: 1px solid #1F3851; border-right: 1px solid #1F3851;}
    #header { background: url("https://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }
    #footer { background: url("https://www.thebigtimer.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickfooter.jpg") no-repeat bottom; border: none;}

    Change the #header info and you’ll solve that problem. Just change the file name to whatever you’re wanting to use as your header graphic.

    The other question I thought was controlled by the header-image div. And possibly in the options panel of the admin area.

    EDIT –

    yeah, the name at the top is controlled by the h1 tag in the headerimg div.

    `</head>

    <body>
    <div id=”page”>
    <div id=”header”>
    <div class=”headerimg”>
    <h1>The Big Timer</h1>
    <div class=”description”></div>’

    You can delete the div…or better yet comment it out so that it doesn’t show up.

    Hope that helps.

    guess I’ll bump one more time.

    Anyone? Anyone at all?

    I think that what he is saying is that you would need to change the css for the sidebar header –

    #sidebar h2 {
    display: block;
    background: #FAF9E8;
    border: 1px solid #dddddd;
    -moz-border-radius:5px;
    padding: 3px 2px 3px 3px;
    margin: 0 0 6px 0;
    color: #93425A;
    font-family: Verdana, Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 1.0em;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font-weight: lighter;
    }

    and what you would do is replace the background color with the url to the image you are wanting to use. All else fails, I typically try to find a blog that is doing this, and then use the firefox web designer tool to view the css code to get an idea of how something is done.

    the first question is controlled by css. Look down in your css code for the #page formatting. This is down where it says “Begin Structure”.

    Change the margin from 20px auto; to 0px auto;

    Those numbers always go in this order – top margin, right margin, bottom margin, left margin. So, basically the current code is telling it to put 20px space for the top margin.

    The 2nd question I think you’d have to add an image tag in your css code too. I’ll have to load up the default theme and look at it to remember.

    Hope that little bit helps in the meantime.

    EDIT –

    I just remembered by looking at the graphic files included with the theme – even with a top margin of “0”, you’ll still have some grey at the top because it is part of how the header graphic was made. I THINK that when you replace the default header with your own though, that should go away as long as you don’t add a border into your graphic. Hope that makes sense?

    I like your color scheme, header, etc. Very nice looking site.

    Do you manually size your pics you place in your posts?

    follow this link to scriptygoddess’ site. She has a tutorial on this.

    I believe that the stroke going down the page is actually controlled by css in the header.php file.

    #page { background: url("https://www.alexandersvideos.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/images/kubrickbg.gif") repeat-y top; border-left: 1px solid #1F3851; border-right: 1px solid #1F3851;}

    And, if I remember correctly, its the border-left and the border-right attributes that you need to change.

    Isn’t that actually an MX4, https://www.mx4.info/weblog/
    just slightly adpated?

    yeah, I know how to use photoshop to add a dropshadow to things such as text, pics, etc. But, seems that creating a 1200px by 9px background image with a dropshadow that sits on the outer edges of a blog page is done a little differently. So, was hoping that someone who has made their own (like the background used here on the WP forum) might have some instructions on how they did it.

    The 2nd link for the comments looks like it does what I was asking. I’ll give it a shot.

    Thanks

    kubrick

    just my own personal thought here…but, would be nice to have left credit to the designer of the kubrick theme in the footer.

    but, to each his own I guess.
