    I'd like to use a header that is taller than the size my Metric theme allows. When I upload my header it cuts off about halfway.

    Thanks in advance.

    I believe this should work - in the style.css file, find the following:

    #header .wrap {
    	width: 960px; 
    	height: 120px;
    	margin: 0 auto 0;
    	}
    

    Change the height to whatever you want. Do the same here:

    .header-image #title-area, .header-image #title-area #title, .header-image #title-area #title a {
    	display: block; 
    	float: left;
    	width: 340px;
    	height: 120px;
    	margin: 0; 
    	padding: 0;
    	text-indent: -9999px;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	}
    

    and I think you should be good. Sometimes there's code in functions.php that specifies the header size but I'm not seeing that when I look at the Metric theme.

    Did that work? If so, you can mark this thread as "resolved."
