Decent HeaderArt is crutial in Bloggistan.
All NatSkin styles have been armed to take a header background image. Three of them have got example background images (find out yourself) already loaded. Actually some css must change too to make the stuff we pack into the topbar still readable. Hence we will add a skin state controling an extra css file that loads the background and changes some colors accordingly. I.e. colors will switch back to their default if the topbar image is toggled off. Things will be just like for the other skin state aspects. Well, we'll see. Right now I hard coded them in including the required css changes that come with the pictures.

Things are a little more complicated if the page layout is much more flexible compared to a fixed width layout like in most WordPress installations. The combinations of topbar images and styles will be limitted here too and only serve as examples that you most propably will customize anyway. So we will add one optional image for each style that only works with that style.

If you are looking for nice HeaderArt then visit Digital Westex. They've got tons of downloadable graphic resources. Ok, the images are made for WordPress but hey, you are a hobby gimper, aren't you.

Digital Westex gone

The site seems to be gone or at least down. But there are some more resource links at codex that can be applied to the NatSkin as well. … reply
