# Edit header height

 * Hello,
 * I really enjoy this theme’s easy header feature. However, I would like to make
   the header shorter than 150px. I cannot seem to find the corresponding css in
   either the style or color .css files. I have looked at the site with Google Chrome’s
   developer tool but again, cannot find where to alter this in the css. Thank you.

 * This means writing your own styles unfortunately.

 * Thank you for the reply. The code you screencapped is not readily accessible 
   in either of the two key .css files (colors.css and styles.css). I found the 
   same code using Chrome developer, but cannot find the corresponding css. Something
   to do with the theme’s ‘custom header’ setup, perhaps.
 * Obviously the theme has code to tell the header how big to be, and where to get
   the uploaded header, but I don’t know where. If I have to I will just work with
   a straight uploaded header but hoping to work within the original parameters.

 * Here’s what’s in the actual theme before output:
 * <table class=”tablayout” style=”height: <?php echo DESIRE_HEADER_HEIGHT; ?>px;”
