 * Hello!
 * My Name is Arno and i have a question/problem.
    I have tried several times to
   add a header image with the same bad result. The header image is displayed wrong,
   seems like it´s just an cut out of the original image (like you zoomed in). The
   image has a resolution from 1920x200px as the template recommends but its still
   not working. I tried to use a bigger image and use the clip function but its 
   not working at all.
 * Do you have any ideas?
 * Thank you very much!
 * Arno

 * Same problem here, I think it’s linked to this code:
 * “
 * <div id=”header-holder” style=”position: relative; top: 0px; background: url(
   [http://HEADERIMAGEFILENAME.png](http://HEADERIMAGEFILENAME.png)) 50% 0px / cover
   no-repeat fixed;” class=”stuckMenu”>
 * “
 * …but can’t work out what to change. I’m thinking the 50% looks strange, but it
   seems to be showing at about 800% zoom so no idea!
 * Frustrating as the main (and normally simplest) bit of branding on the whole 
   site is harder to do on this theme I’ve paid for than any other theme I’ve tried.

 * Hi there,
 * I have the same problem! Have you ever found a solution to the fact that the 
   theme is forcing the header banner image to be huge in size?
 * Thanks

 * i agree, super frustrating! what finally worked for me:
 * > <div id=”header-holder” style=”background-image: url(THE-URL); background-size:
   > contain;”>
