  There’s no set dimensions like for a custom header, so you determine how big you want the image to be. It will also depend on whether you want the image to be centered or tiled, do you want it to fill the entire screen or do you want a background colour or texture to appear behind it, etc. I’d suggest you prepare your image in several sizes and then experiment with them until you get one that looks right.
