How do I change the background grey color in Default 1.2.6 theme? Also, is it possible to make the header larger for a bigger pic?

Create a child theme of bp-default theme.
Re: background color = You need to override default style by changing the background color and image from
`body {
background: #eaeaea url( ../images/background.gif ) top left repeat-x;
…
}`
to something like the following which you should add in child theme’s style.css
`body {
background: #fffff none;
}`
which you adjust to taste.

Re: header size change height set in default theme by adding this to your child theme’s style.css
#header{
height: 200px;
}
adjust to taste.

Thanks…This works great….Just not sure how to change the size of the upload image into the header of wp…still looks to only let me upload a picture 125px in height?

I forgot to add — add this to your child theme’s functions.php (if you don’t have one, create one)
`<?php
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, 200 );
?>`
adjust to taste
