How to edit a generated theme so that the end user can upload his own header image?

Thanks in advance.

Export your theme from Artisteer, open the header.jpg from images folder and edit it or rewrite it with your own header.jpg

Garry thanks for the info. Sorry I was not clear enough in the question. Actually I want to allow the users to change the image using their control panel like in some other wordpress themes.

Can you please provide info on this as well?

Go to appearance->editor, click your header.php(sometimes it is in index.php), find following class:

div.Header-jpeg
{
position: absolute;
z-index:-1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 874px;
height: 225px;
background-image: url('images/Header.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}

add a new image you wana add as header and overwrite the header.jpg with your new image's name

It sounds like you want to use the Wordpress API

Custom Image Header
.

I managed to get it to work on an Artisteer generated theme. I have a tutorial up on my personal website...

Get the dynamic-headers.3.1 plugin.
