Custom Header Image

Vote 0 Votes

I have a custom header image (jpg). Can I install it on my website in toto, without any changes?

Thanks.

  • Hi Tom,

    You could!

    What you would have to do is to customize the header class or id inside the "Stylesheet" index template.

    You would basically overwrite the value of the default css file(s) for that div to contain the header image that you want.

    Kind Regards,

  • My current stylesheet template reads as follows:

    /* This is the StyleCatcher theme addition. Do not remove this block. */
    @import url(http://www.gumbogenealogy.com/mt-static/themes-base/blog.css);
    @import url(http://www.gumbogenealogy.com/mt-static/support/themes/tristan-blue/tristan-blue.css);
    /* end StyleCatcher imports */

    So I would be replacing "blog.css" and "tristan-blue.css"?

    With what?

  • No, you shouldn't replace them, but further down on that template you will have to re-declare the right div with the image referenced as background-image.

  • Sounds like another job for my friend Mihai. You have my info; let me know.

  • You would have to provide me the image and to tell me if it should replace the whole header area, or just a part of it...

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
