The moment WordPress started supporting “Custom Header Image”, I am implementing this feature on as many themes as I develop. In fact, all my popular WordPress Themes like MistyLook, NigaRila, PalNila etc have this feature built into this theme.
All you have to do is, login to your WordPress, go to Presentation / Design and look for the option called “Custom Image Header”. Here you will be able to upload your own image, crop its size to fit your theme and save it. It shows up on your site’s header automatically.
I would like to know how many of you are actually using feature?.
If it is used by a lot of people, why is it not a popular feature in themes done by other people? Please post your thoughts on this.
I am surprised too, as to why more themes do not have a customized header image. Personally, I only like themes with a customizable header (and I am using Misty Look with a custom header).
I, too, only use themes that have customizable headers. I use MistyLook right now. Sadish, I think your themes are great. I’m looking to switch now, but I’m looking for another of yours. Your designs are very clean and elegant, and I love that I can use my own photo for the header. Great work!
I love customizable header. Its must for me .. Also I need comments on Pages which is not offered by most themes. However I guess your themes provides both this ..
Cheers !!
Hello Salish,
the custom header is a very nice and usefull feature.
I am using the Seashore Theme, but since WP 2.61 I am unable to change the Headerimage. After choosing a new picture, only an emty space is diplayed on the site.
Is there any workaround?

I am always using it when supported, and I think it’s a GREAT feature.
Your themes are great, and I’m now using the Blue Sky theme, in which I changed the header.
Love the custom image header, a definite must have! How about more custom image header themes with a larger header like the one on Fast Moving?
I use the custom image header on my blog and I agree that it is a must have. I am using the Misty Look theme and I love it. Thank you Sadish!
As much as I enjoy all of your themes; and, I find the default images work well with them, the ability to use a “Custom Header Image” is essentially a must have feature, IMHO.
Kudos for making it an important part of your designs!
I don’t use it. In fact, normally i will modify the CSS to remove header image. It just takes up too much real estate.
Thanks so much for a great theme
This is one of the top features that I look for in a theme and I use it on all three of my blogs
thanks again.
thanks for custom image header
I am using one of yours on my wordpress blog and I love it
well done keep it up !!!!!!!!
Awesome tool!
There’s nothing like being to put your own custom designed header and adapt it to the theme in your blog.
All these tools in one!
ABSOLUTELY…as a photographer, I require being able to use my own image…
what I would REALLY like is: a directory full of images, and have Misty_Look randomly select an image from the directory every page load…..
now THAT I would pay for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the exact question I have asked myself! After days of struggling, and messing up (I am HTML and CSS challenged), I stumbled upon your custom header themes, and I can’t thank you enough! It took me a matter of minutes to make my own header and upload it! Something I might never have been able to do with those other themes. I even blogged about your themes: http://chocolatefingerprints.net/?p=394
Thanks again!
I can’t imagine going back to life before the custom header option. It’s definitely a huge deal to my site and as Stephen above said it’s a must for my site. I’m also pretty excited about their upcoming changes as well which were discussed in this years WordCamp. If you missed the news you should definitely get up to date: http://www.bestofthewebhosts.com/wordcamp.php
The ability to make mini social networks and the updates to media management are going to be huge.
I love custom headers, the kind where you are able to download your own pictures from the pc and you just crop it and voila, a new site header everyday.
Sadish, I hope you’ll design more of the three-columns with “crop-pable” custom headers , I am not a techie and I don’t understand how to change my layouts so I am very reliant on just that which I see on the layout, I can’t change stylesheets, css.. In short, a dumbo..
Please, please, please, have more of the three column designs.
I’ll link this site.
Love so much headers custom and your themes! Thank you from Senegal!
This is one of the first things I look for in a Theme. If you can’t customize your own header, how can you make your site your own? And why not add a new header every month or, at least, every season?
By the way, thanks for your wonderful themes and informative website. I link to it in my Blogroll and refer all my fellow newbie WordPress using friends to use you as a great resource for all things WordPress. You often explain things more clearly than they are explained on the WordPress.org site.
I’d love to use a custom header – it’s already been made in Photoshop but, it appears that I don’t have the “custom image header” option.
My header must remain plain white text on a dirty blue background!

I always want my own header on my blogs. I have worked out how to put a custom header on other blogs with an image in the header – usually it’s just a case of replacing the header image with your own of the same size – but it’s certainly much easier if the theme is set up with a custom header option. I can’t understand why it’s not more widespread.
