Header picture size

Hello,

I am new to wordpress and started with using the dazzling scheme. I found everything so far in the documentation / by trying out. However, I would like the header picture to be shown as in the demonstration page of the scheme (screen wide). However, when uploading the picture the “theme recommends 300 x 66 pixels”. That’s pretty small. When I crop it it even becomes smaller. How can I make it bigger, e.g. screen wide?

Regards,

I found out that I can change the dimensions of the picture in header.php. I couldn’t find the source of the function “get_custom_header()” and hence don’t know where the conrete values are configured / calculated but setting it in header.php directly does the job of displaying the values in the expected dimensions.

However, irrespective of the dimensions if I add a header picture will the size be cut to a maximum width of 300 px regardless of what I choose. So if I set earlier the dimension to e.g. width = 1200px then the picture with size 300px will be displayed extremely blurred.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It points out that this question was already asked and answered. Thanks very much!

It would be great if that could be part of the standard functionality.
