# custom image header, wp default

 * I’m using a blank theme to customize, but I notice it uses a wp option in the
   design tab where the theme editor is, and it is called “custom image header” 
   it lets you choose and upload a header image. however, I do not want to use that
   because my image is larger than the min size, and I just want to set the header
   image with my css. so I put my image in with my header div in the css, but it
   looks like the wp custom image header overrides my css, and it doesn’t show up.
   I deleted the blank theme’s header.jpg which was being used, but now it is just
   empty white space that still overrides my css background image. how can I disable
   the custom image header in wp? is it called with php? if so, I wasn’t able to
   located the php that calls the image in my template files. thanks!

 * open style.css and play around these lines
 * > #header {
   >  background: #73a0c5 url(‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom
   > center; }
   > #headerimg {
   >  margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }

 * well I am using a background url in my header div, but like I said above, for
   some reason the default wp custom image header over writes this. I notice that
   only some themes use the custom image header, so that must mean it is called 
   in the template with php. I think… I just can’t find out where. so, I know playing
   with the header divs will give me a header image, but not while this wp custom
   image thing is active.
 * switch to the default theme to see what I am talking about. however I just noticed
   with kubriks the tab is called “header image and color,” but on the blank theme
   I am using

 * it is called “custom image header”

 * NVM! I figured it out. in the functions.php file it had the php that called the
   custom header image. I just removed it, and now it uses the url in my css!! yay.
   thanks anyway all. 😀

 * you can also adjust the size of the minimum image for the custom image cropper
   in the functions.php file.
