Hello folks,
I'm trying out Artisteer and would like to use my own header graphics.
My first thought was that I should be able to swap out the header graphic in the images folder with one created in a graphics package. - However, I notice that Artisteer produces two header graphics - header.jpeg and header.png.
This is referenced by the following code in the header.php files.
<div class="art-Header"> <div class="art-Header-png"></div> <div class="art-Header-jpeg"></div> <div class="art-Logo"> <h1 id="name-text" class="art-Logo-name"> <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> <div id="slogan-text" class="art-Logo-text"> <?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
So I'm a little confused as to how referencing two header graphics works, and how to substitute my own graphic.
I would appreciate any advice on this.
Many thanks,
Myles

Hi Myles,
If you look at the CSS ( style.css ) for the class's that are referenced in the php you have shown, it reveals clearly how the graphics are used.

Hello Dave,
I've had a look at the CSS and see the following code -
div.Header-png
{
position: absolute;
z-index:-2;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 890px; height: 200px;
background-image: url('images/Header.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}
div.Header-jpeg
{
position: absolute;
z-index:-1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 890px; height: 200px;
background-image: url('images/Header.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
It looks like the jpg is positioned on top of the png graphic?
My CSS is not my strong suit. If I want to substitute my own header using a jpg 800 x 200px, is it just a case of editing out the div referencing the png file and replacing the header.jpg in the images folder? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?
Many thanks,
Myles

Hi Myles,
That should work fine - give it a try, would only take a minute to slot in any old graphic you create of that size and see if it works...
cheers Dave

Try inserting your header image from your computer going insert from file in Artisteer

Thanks garry,
I'll give that a try as well.
I've been playing with Artisteers own header creation function which is rather impressive. However, it raises a question which I think deserves a separate thread.
Many thanks,
Myles

Going header-> from file is the best way to insert your custom images instead of changing them from images folder.
