Harmonic theme front page title background size
-
Hi. I’ve checked the Harmonic theme’s instructions page but I can’t find anywhere that states how big (tall and wide) the theme title background images should be.
I’ve only started looking at the front page so far but I’m assuming I’ll need to know sizes for the other pages too? Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks, Chris.

I went to the live demo site and right clicked on the image
https://harmonicdemo.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/tidqblgqw6iut5zhks0f_11891558035_eafdf53bf0_o1.jpg
Then I clicked view image info
The result was 3,264px × 2,176px (scaled to 869px × 580px)
So the answer is 869px × 580px -
I also want to the detailed theme description page and read the Quick Specs
The main column width is 830px.
The slide-out sidebar width is 25%.
Large images and videos have a width of 1216px.The detailed theme description page with the instructions and options for set up is at this link http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/harmonic/

Hi there,
thanks for such a quick response. Although I don’t think this is quite the whole answer yet.
When you view the demo image separately, you can see that it’s a different shape and is in fact cropped when it displays as the theme title background. Indeed, if I view the image as you did, I get a different “scaled to” size for my screen – 919px x 692px. Therefore if I crop an image to the size you suggested, as I’ve now done, it still gets even more cropped when used on the front page.
I suspect part of the answer is in the quick specs you kindly found (I must be going blind, couldn’t see those previously!), which contradict slightly – I’m assuming the actual width of the front page image is 1216px therefore. Do you agree?
However, I’d still really like to know the height (which I assume is then common throughout the theme?) if it’s possible to find out please?
Thank you so much for your help!
Chris

Hi,
Thanks for using Harmonic. The image scales proportionately to the screen you are using. So depending on the browser some will be scaled with the top or side not showing. There is no fixed height or width to the image. The background scales to the device, taking a proportionate section of the image.
Thanks

I had a similar issue – here’s what worked for me.
Create a title image that is 2400px wide by 1400px tall.
The image should display at full width (I’ve tested this on 1920×1080, 1280×800 and on my mobile phone).
However only around 1100 of the height will be visible. Around 100px at the top is hidden behind the nav bar and around 200px at the bottom.
Avoid having any vital content in those areas and you should be good to go!
Hope this helps.

Hi, I recently just looked at this theme. I am wondering how you set it up? I want to get the home page and everything all set up. Is there instructions? Perhaps there is an instructions page or detailed steps?

I’m having a difficult time understanding the navigation of the theme. Is the scrolling page theme meant to be a template for each page? Or are the sections in the scrolling page links to different pages. I’m a bit confused.

Is the scrolling page theme meant to be a template for each page?
If you’re referring to the “Front Page” template, it’s meant for the front page of your site only. Please have a look at the theme documentation and setup instructions and that should help guide you through the process step by step:
