Thanks Tikaram – I was wondering if it was the 1920 x 1080 issue since I see that that is called out in the ‘Appearance’ tab for the Header images. I’m sure that when I put this together I used the 1620 x 720 dimensions from your original template (I wouldn’t have voluntarily chosen those dimensions otherwise…) but hey, ho…

Thanks for confirming my suspicions thoght – time to reupload a whole stack of images at the correct resolution.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the speedy reply, Tikaram – I don’t think I’d quite explained myself correctly.

It seems to be some kind of issue where the header image seems to scale itself by default and then end up looking far too zoomed in and blurry.

I’ve taken these two screenshots of my site side-by-side…

On the homepage, (left) my header image (pic of me) and the slider image (pic of hand holding brushes) are appearing as I’d expect – not zoomed – if I drag the right hand edge of the browser out to the right a LONG way the header image of me begins to zoom.

On my art page (right) the header image is already zoomed in (compare the size of it to the slider image on the home page) where I’d expect it to be behaving just like the header image of myself on the homepage

To add a complication to this, I’ve had a couple of instances where the homepage has acted just the same – rather than a default of me peering over the top of the slider as in the screenshot, the image is zoomed in a long way showing only the top of my hair.

Here are the links to both images

As you can see, these are the exact same dimensions as the header image from your template

The same effect can be seen on one of the game images/pages – if I drag the window so it’s just wide enough – approx 980 -990 pixels the header logo is already zoomed by a factor of (I’m guessing from screencaps and measurements) 114%, which would imply that the images that are 1680 pixels across (just like your template example) are now being scaled up to 1920 pixels wide…?
