  Hi everyone,

  I use the Imbalance theme.
  I would like to know if it’s possible to change the size of the image I use in the header of my blog. I’ld like it to appear bigger.

  Thank you very much !

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

  How much bigger do you want the image? Given the design of the header area, enlarging the header image on Imbalance 2 can be aesthetically challenging.

  About 20%, do you think that would be possible ?

  20% additional brings us to about 230px in width.

  Upload a 230px logo image to your media library, get the URL of that image and replace URL_OF_IMAGE between the quote marks with the URL of your new image in the #site-title rule.

  #branding {
      padding-left: 0;
      width: 230px;
  }
  #wrapper {
      width: 1000px;
  }
  .entry-content, .post_title h1, .post_title h2 {
      margin-left: 290px;
  }
  #site-title {
      background: url("URL_OF_IMAGE") no-repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
      clip: inherit;
  }
  #site-title a {
      color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
      display: block;
      line-height: 150px;
  }
  img#header-image {
      visibility: hidden;
  }

  You may also wish to adjust the bottom padding in #header to bring the content up closer to the stuff in the header with the following.

  #header {
      padding-bottom: 50px;
  }

  When I use this code, the right side of my new image is cut, so that part of the logo doesn’t appear on screen.

  By the way, I opened another thread related to the same issue (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/imbalance-header-customisation-blank-space-at-the-bottom?replies=3), maybe it would be better to merge the two threads? I’m sorry, I don’t know how to do it, I’m a newby at wordpress.

  Thanks anyway

  We aren’t able to merge threads, but I’ll close this one since you’ve picked this up in the other thread.
