It is not a simple Qs... For this you can: 1. replace the image with any other of your favor image (repeatable), or 2. edit the image provide by the theme into a suitable size.

For case 1, that is not my duty and you should be the one who prepare for it.

For case 2, you need to:
1. edit the original image with GIMP/PS/etc (I use GIMP only)
2. resize the image into suitable height
3. backup and replace the original image
4. edit style.css (or your custom.css) and change ALL HEADER REGION RELATED margin/padding/height/float/etc stuff, based on your new background image

Hi, let's say I keep the 970 width but make the height 120 rather than 200, what do I need to change?

Thank you so much for your help!

@navigroup: "task" means this issue should be done and included in next stable release, but your request is all about tailor-made customization so only suitable as "support request". It is only "critical" for your case, but only as "normal" or even "minor" for the project itself. Please fully utilize the issue tracing system in more elegant and logical style.

As a basic principle, I will not going to provide help for customization based on individual request, because it is both not fair to other users and myself. The contribution of theme is all target for long term development, maintenance and a good relationship with community; BTW, a tailor-made customization is usually means for services request and there is no point for me to work without any reward. On the other hand, what if other users request for help of customization? As I am the only developer of this project, as a fair choice to all request, whatever I accept and get all done, or else reject all such support request.

Hey man, please remember that there is no free lunch: whenever you hope to get something, you will need to pay for it, whatever as cash/time/contribution ;-)

@navigroup: As a special case, let me provide more information in order to help your customization. The background image is printed as "repeat-x" for #wrapper. ALL other content (e.g. header, left/right sidebar, main content, footer, etc) are float ABOVE this background image:

#wrapper {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
  background: #FFF url(images/body.png) repeat-x top left;
}

So there is NO direct relationship between the background image and size of header region. The header region itself is defined as fixed height so map to the background image VIRTUALLY (which means the background image is not ENCLOSED by the header region):

#wrapper #container #header {
  height: 92px;
}

Therefore in order to customize your theme's header region height, you will need to:

  1. Edit the images/body.png with GIMP and resize it as suitable height.
  2. Fine tune the height of header region so let it fit with your new background image.

P.S. if this is still not enough for you, please feel free to contact me in personal and I am able to provide customization service for you, too.
