In order to create a consistent look, I am manually replacing the default image in each of the themes I am offering to my subscribers. As I do this, I have found that the first few I have worked with do not return the correct image size needed to work with the theme, or the theme is not resizing properly.
For example, in the WPMU-Triden theme, the custom header page shows that the image that is uploaded must be 960 x 150 pixels. However, when I uploaded an image of that size to my site, the right side was cropped. I was only able to get the full width of the image to display by reducing the width. In this instance, I wound up using an image of 880 x 130 pixels.
I am not a css expert, but in looking at the css, I think I saw where the container or body was set at a percentage of the screen.
Wouldn't it be more correct if the css also resized the image to fit the container or body?
Will this be a problem with all the themes?
Or, am I misreading?
And, is it snowing and I will be trapped in the house for the next three days?

Addendum ... It appears some themes are working okay. Nelo is consistent with replacement of default and allows custom images to upload and edit properly.
Is there a preferred method the wpmu-dev would like feedback on pass/fail on this feature?
This forum as I run into the problem, or a listing after completion? (Which will probably be a long time, based on the time I am taking to create resized default images for each theme and test subscriber customization.)
the nelo, dixi and triden are very optimize with theme option for user to control their header height so
there's no need for you to touch the wpmu core..
your current main problem will be the failure of custom header to work..it is mainly maybe the wpmu core issue and not exatcly themes issue...

btw..if using other themes (not nelo,dixi or triden) with custom header, did the custom header
also failed?
update here again ok
cheers

Failed on non-supported theme also, which leads me to think it is core (custom-header.php?)
Working on uploads suggested in other thread now
Cheersy
