Where do you upload a header background image in 4.0?

[chilihead]

I can see where to upload a logo, but where can you upload a background image for the header? I use a gradient. Thanks

No option.

I definitely support uploading a custom header and a custom background.e

So it has to be done in CSS. Does that mean we can't use simple method? Where is CSS? I'm learning this new acp but can't find it. Thanks

​If you want to make a gradient background in the header, then yes. You just need to know the proper color hex codes.

 

Go to the easy edit of the theme and select the header area, click on the header background. Click on the color and use the add additional color to create a gradient background.

Not that simple it needs to match the bg in the actual logo. I guess I need to use the css mode. Was hoping to use simple.

Here is how I did it.

In custom.css I put this code:

.ipsApp_front {
    background-image: url('/uploads/image.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: top center;
    background-size:cover
}
.ipsApp_front #ipsLayout_header header {
    background-color: transparent;

​Can the logo background be edit out and recreate the gradient background and add the altered logo? That how I would do it.

Thank you @wmarcy.

To clarify that is not something you can do in simple mode right?

​I considered that. I'll figure it out thanks a lot.

Thank you.

​The header gradient can be done in Easy Mode. The editing of the logo would have to be done in a program like photoshop. If you post the logo image

I'll see if I can edit it to make it transparent.

 

That how I have my sig logo done.

​I did it in simple mode, so you ought to be able to do it also.

A-ha!

Editing html and css is in the dropdown! Found it!

Since in manual mode it is a button I thought it wasn't available. This is a great revelation, thanks!
