Thanks for a great looking theme!

I am just customizing it on my new site http://personalbrandinguk.com and wondering whether it's possible to upload a custom header image instead of the color combinations?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There's already a header image it's "header.png" in "images" folder.
Open the style.css and change it under line 55.
But I think you have to delete the line 48 (and 49 too if you changed "navigation-hover.png" ) in this file (../magazeen/color/color.inc) To avoid recoloring your image when choosing another color scheme than the default.

Uhm... That didn't work at all. The header image in the folder is just a divider, not really an image. Any other ideas? Thanks

Well, Try these steps
- Create a png image named "header.png"
- Make sure its width 960, height 177 pixels
- Replace it with the old one
- Return into the default color scheme

Aah, now it works.

Although either side of the header gets tiled with bits of the header.. How do I turn this off? Or should I make a wider header to cover the entire top region?

Many thanks for your help Ifadah!

(The header on the image is not high enough, but it's exactly 960 pixels wide)

You are welcome.
Better than making the image wider is :
- open the style.css file, at line 56 make it like this
background: #171615 url('../images/header.png') no-repeat top;

- then change the "#171615" to an one you like (it's the background code color).

Got it to work now and it looks pretty cool!

Final question (hopefully) : am I restricted to use the default color scheme when having a customized banner? I noticed it doesn't work when I change this.

Thanks again Ifadah!

As I pointed above, to avoid recoloring your image when choosing another color scheme, you have first to delete the line 48 in "color.inc" file which located in this folder (../magazeen/color), otherwise you are restricted to use the default one.
