    Hi everyone,

    This is issue probably has a simple and obvious fix but I can't figure it out. I am trying to change the background of my header space (englishnextdoor.com) to a simple white. A couple Genesis updates ago the background became the textured gray that you see now. I'm thinking this might be an image that is being repeated horizontally. Could anyone tell me how I could go about keeping my current log as is (same size) and just change the background of the header to a simple white?

    Thanks a lot!

    I should add that the background for the header is the same as for the rest of the website. I like having it on the side margins but would like to make the header area plain white. Thanks!

    I think this may be your culprit:

    #header {
    background: url(http://d2hiaya6had0sl.cloudfront.net/wp-content/themes/education/images/header.png) no-repeat !important;
    }

    If you get rid of that "background" definition, I think your header background will go back to being white.

    Thanks a lot. I can't seem to find this in my main styles sheet. Any idea where it might be?
