yea i am in the same boat is you i dont know much about this header. I was tring to find another theme becasue i tried but failed. i was thinking that you could just edit the php file to not include the sliced pictures but i am not sure on that one if this takes some time i am willing to wait as i have all the time in the world lol. i am going to post this same ? in the php help section see what they say so if you could make the banner long that would be great.
