  I like everything about the twenty ten layout except I want the banner image to be taller.

  Will Custom Design allow me to make the banner image space twice as tall?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  To make the header image twice as tall, you need to upload an image of the size you want to your media library separately and copy the image URL first.

  Once you have that, you can use CSS like this to change out the image:

  #branding img {
  	display: none;
  }
  
  #branding {
  	background: url(YOUR_IMAGE_URL) no-repeat;
  	height: YOUR_IMAGE_HEIGHT;
  }

  Replace YOUR_IMAGE_URL with your image link and YOUR_IMAGE_HEIGHT with your image height.

  Note that this overrides the random header image feature of Twenty Eleven.

  Thank you for the help! One more questions: Do I have to have Custom Design in order to change my banner height?

  Right now you do, yes. However, we are working on an update that will make some theme heading areas adjustable through the Appearance → Heading page in the future.
