Unorthodox Custom Headers

I use the San Kloud theme, presently not with the custom design upgrade but I might try the 14-day trial.

If you look at the standard header on San Kloud, you’ll notice that it is not shaped like a rectangle. Is it possible to change this header to a trapezoid or oval (or whatever) and still have the background surround the header, with no empty space, as it does on the standard theme?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s actually a set of three background images:

To replace it with something different you must first use an image editing application to modify these images or create your own image(s).

Thanks for the tip. Since those are background images, there presumably must be some way to greenscreen out the gray background.

You’re welcome.
What “gray background” are you referring to? These are transparent PNGs: they have no bg.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I saw gray when I clicked on the links but forgot I wasn’t looking at a JPEG.
