Masterpiece! I know I’m jumping ahead here…he’s still building.
You can make cycling header graphics by using the header graphic feature found in the appearance menu.
Work of art! I had to mention it!
Have already asked how that was done, it looks good = there is a nice description in one of his (?) other posts

Yes, this really is a great look.
Is that “header graphic feature” available to those of us using Clean Theme 2? I looked for it and couldn’t find it.
Hey thats cool! Nice one.
Leo – would it be possible in the header customisation section for this feature to add a “Repeat?” option, so we can upload textures and have them repeated through the header?
I tried adding this to the child style.css
.symbiostock_branding {
background-repeat: repeat;
}but it gets overridden for some reason and only applies to to the area that your logo takes up.

I could not find it either. It was there in 2.7.1, but now it is gone in 2.7.2.

Hey, I’m glad to know it’s not just me. 🙂
I’m still happy using 2.6.5. Can’t keep up with what’s happening in the 2.7 series.
I checked it is still there! /wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header

When was it introduced, Leo? With the 2.7 series, or earlier?
Is this something we have to tweak php to use?
Oh I get it now! Yes, its on the shiney version. I wouldn’t rush to get that though – I’d rather people go in when they are ready, and when it presents the least conversion issues.

I admit that it is late and I am tired, but I still don’t know what is being said here. Is the custom header available in 2.7.x and if so how is it implemented?
“/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header” doesn’t mean anything to me. Sorry if I am beng a little dense.
These were the directions Jo gave in another thread when I asked him (yes 2.7.* )
Since I started off on this latest beta version of Symbiostock, I learnt it all from scratch by poking around. When you upload images for the Header (Appearance > Header) I realised that there was a radio button that says “Random: Show a different image on each page.”When you upload an image it sets it as the header for all pages but you can then go back and tick the “Random” radio button and it randomly loads one of your “Header” images you uploaded. So make a few and upload them.
When I realised this I converted my logo to a transparent overlay and I thought it worked well. As for figuring out the sizes I just used the random upload and test method! Just remember to delete your tests or duplicates etc. so they aren’t forgotten and loading randomly LOL!
Very roughly, if you create an image 1200×250 pixels, it will work both at full screen width and then it will reduce the width (progressively cutting off the image from the right to left) as you make the browser window smaller.
The actual HEIGHT of the Header image works according to your Logo image. I padded my Logo Top and Bottom with transparency in order to force the header to show more of my Header image. Normally it is just the height of your logo and no more. My Logo PNG file is 500x168px so I’m guessing that I’m viewing about 170 to 180 pixels of the top of my actual header.
Last note, when you upload your image for the Header it follows to the next screen where you can either “crop your image” or “skip cropping” it. You can just skip cropping it if you have sized your image before uploading. You could just upload a full sized image and then crop it online but I think it is better to reduce the images to the right size and apply a little sharpening before uploading.
Hope this is clear and helps 🙂

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail Arton galaxy note 2, he has no header image at all 🙂
so whatever he did, it doesn’t work on mobile phones.. not even on one of the largest mobile screens..
I have just tried these headers on testing site – tulip.kerioak.com and they show up on there on Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail ArtThanks Christine! I was just going to cut and paste it 😀
As I said this just quick and rough guess work on my part. Leo might be able to give us more precise max width needed. The size 1200xlittle more than your Logo works.
Oh and yes, I’m using v2.7.2. I think that is the latest version number.
Jo
Edit: Just upgraded to v2.7.3

I don’t have a tablet so I checked on my Android smartphone which has a 4″screen so it’s a mini tablet of sorts. I also have no logo or top header at all. Perhaps this is the layout for the mobile device but then we need to insert a logo elsewhere.
Jo
Edit: It’s not just on a tablet. If you resize your browser smaller than a certain size it takes on this mobile view and the header disappears.
Edit 2: http://www.clipartillustration.com/ doesn’t do this. The Header Logo scales down with the page.
