Larger Header
Thu, 19/03/2009 - 10:05
I would wish for a larger header. The long thin header greatly limits the images you can use. I've gone around town and shot panoramas that I've stitched together to get an appropriately sized image but it's hard to get the shots and often they don't look great. A header the size found on Cutline is easier to work with and to select photos for. I use Cutline for my WordPress site (www.localhealthguideonline.com). Unfortunately, it's become very popular, at least here in the Northwest, and it looks like everyone is using the theme.
Another option would be to cut up the header so maybe three or four photos or images might be inserted.
Best,

Theming...
Theming is tough - aesthetically. Almost every theme I've explored always had at least one thing that bugged me. Someone would make a really nice looking theme and then put one quirky, cute thing in it. (Which, of course, I didn't know how to change ... I'm going to have to learn CSS at some point.) ProsePoint, however, has a nice clean theme. So it's really quite nice.

Hi,
Personally, I find ProsePoint's default theme a bit quirky (even though I chose it myself!). At the time when creating ProsePoint, it was useful and quicker to port an established theme than to create a new theme entirely from scratch. Hence some of the design decisions I wouldn't have made myself. There are some aspects which are perhaps a bit ... too stylistic. Some people like the theme, some people don't. So I can see where you're coming from. If I had the time, I would have done more about themeing by now.
Anyway, back on topic ...
I think you're using the tma_custom subtheme. If you want to increase the header image height, add something similar to the following in your css file (tma_custom.css):
#topbanner{
height: 200px;
}
Let me know how you go.
