    Hello,

    This question is a bit unclear for us. Could you please clarify us with more details?
    Do you need to change logo or header background color?

    If you insert that image the logo will cover the photo and the image dimensions aren’t suitable for the screen resolution.
    Look at screenshot http://prntscr.com/4gxzni

    If i get the image to be the correct dimensions, could we then disable the logo so it will display correctly?

    What dimensions should the image be?

    We can try it with 1170×316 dimensions.
    And it will be like at screenshot http://prntscr.com/4gy70p , but need longer image.
    Did you like that?

    This image can’t be the full width because its only 1170px width.
    I’ve made some responsive customization. Check it, please.

    Thank you, but when i asked you what size you needed the image to be you gave me the dimensions of 1170×316, see earlier posts, which i got the designer to resize for you, now your saying its not correct, can you please advise as to what exact size it should be to cover the area?

    These dimensions (1170х316) are for header block, and not for the width of each screen. They are completely different. For the full width need more than 2000+ px.
    Thanks for understanding.

    Thanks for that, if i want to put it back to the way it was, do i just remove this code from the custom css?

    .header7{
    background: url(‘images/web_header_2.jpg’) no-repeat center center;
    width:100%;
    background-size:cover;
    height:282px;
    margin:0;
    }
    .header .logo {
    display:none;
    }
    .header7 .table-row{
    height:282px;
    }
    @media (max-width: 1200px) {.header7{
    height:189px;
    }
    .header7 .table-row{
    height:195px;
    }
    }
    @media (min-width:768px) and (max-width:979px) {.header7 {
    height:95px;
    }
    .header7 .table-row{
    height:100px;
    }
    }
    @media (min-width:481px) and (max-width:767px) {.header7 {
    height:91px;
    }
    .header .table-row{
    height:91px;
    }
    }
    @media (max-width: 480px) {.header7 {
    height:60px;
    }
    .header .table-row{
    height:18px;
    }
