You know, we talked about this some time before in this forum, and I’m not sure that we came up with a valid solution.
Basically, the default login screen is a WordPress file, not a Graphene one, so doing anything to it would require hacking into WP core files–not recommended. But I believe there is at least one plugin that will put a login form on your blog pages somewhere. (It’s also possible that we just discussed this as a possibility, however.) I would search around in the plugin repository to see if there is one available.
Try adding this to custom css:
#sidebar1 {background:#000000;}I’m not sure which sidebar you are using. Try using Firebug to make sure we’ve got the correct one.
You’ll also want to change
#000000to the appropriate hex color code.You would only have a child css file if you are using a child theme. Since you are asking this question, I would recommend that you go to:
Graphene Options >> Display Options >> Custom CSS (way at the bottom)
and enter it there. Be sure to click the “save” button afterward.
#000000 is black. If you need color codes, just Google “css color codes”.
I did put the code into the child theme functions file. Same thing.
The code above is CSS. So it should not go into the functions file.
This is what your child theme’s functions file should look like:
<?php
function graphene_custom_header_width(){
return 920;
}
function graphene_custom_header_height(){
return 65;
}
add_filter('graphene_header_image_width', 'graphene_custom_header_width');
add_filter('graphene_header_image_height', 'graphene_custom_header_height');
?>Plus whatever other custom functions you’ve added.
You are using a child theme. You should put that in your child theme’s stylesheet.
I do not want to cut the header I want the entire thing to show. As it is on my site now, but the height much shorter. More like 75 pixels.
If the image you are using is taller than you specify, then yes, it is going to be cropped in order to fit into the space allotted. Your only option here is to use GIMP or Photoshop to crop the image yourself to what you actually want displayed. You can then get the height from that program (it’s usually in the title bar of the image window) and enter that value into your css.
Have you added anything to your child theme’s functions file?
No, this isn’t normal. If you create a child theme, the only thing in your functions.php file should be what you put there.
You are talking about the functions file inside the child theme folder, right? If so, and if this code is causing issues, you can delete the file.
I have no idea where this could have come from, though.
Moved to Support. Please be sure to post in the correct section.
I’m sorry, but I wasn’t aware that there was a category icon. Could you point us to a page where you see this?
I don’t know anything about this, but Syahir has a very good video tutorial about setting up your blog in a language other than English:

It looks like you’ve managed to change the borders above and below the header.
As for the date, that is a sprite image.
Three options for changing it:
1) Download the .psd file, edit it in Photoshop, save it as a png and upload it to your blog.
2) Create a custom background image, upload it, and adjust your css to use that image instead of the default sprite image for the background of the date.
3) Adjust your css so that it doesn’t use a background image at all. (I have seen some people do this, and it offers a lot of creative options.)
