  Hi, I think I’m using the evergreen theme on wordpress.com. That’s the style sheet in the source code Calypso evergreen I think. My problems is, even if I upload a pure white image for the header, it always puts a gradient fill on it- going towards grey at the bottom. How can I remove this gradient please and simply have a white image?

  Thanks,
  monks

  Hi there,

  Of what site are you speaking? We have no theme on WordPress.com called Evergreen, and the site at http://thewindroseonline.wordpress.com/ is using the theme, Independent Publisher 2. You can find instructions for that theme at https://wordpress.com/theme/independent-publisher-2

  This theme adds some shading to custom header images. You can remove that by adding the following CSS code in the Customizer:

  .has-header-image #hero-header::before {
  	background: none;
  	box-shadow: none;
  }
