  I am using Elegant Grunge theme for my WordPress site. There is an option to change the header which i have done. But there appears to be a semi transparent box of my header background.

  I have disected the CSS and cannot find how to remove this box! Does anyone have any ideas?? It is not the background image that is the problem!

  Here is a link to my style sheet: http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/elegant-grunge/style.css?m=1288327381g

  Thank you

  Hi there, is this the site in question: http://taleofavampire.wordpress.com/?

  The horizontal line that you can see on top of the header image is intentional, and a part of the “grunge” look of the theme. It’s a bit more obvious when you upload an image with a transparent background, though.

  Hi Iance

  Thank you for your reply. Yes this is the sight.

  I have tried to remove the grunge from the background but it still appears. It is not in the background. I have tried with and without transparent image.

  There is something else on top of it more than the actual background. But i cannot work it out from looking at the CSS code!

  Any ideas?

  The grunge overlay is in

  #header

  and includes a bottom border and some other elements.

  

  Take a look at the image to see what else will go away.

  To get rid of it you will have to do the following

  #header {background:none !important; }
