Default Re: header_bg.jpg needs to "stretch" according to resolution settings

True, my Header.jpg file does not stretch across the entire screen for resolutions higher than 800 pixels in width.

One problem is that stretching images tends to distort them. Another is that if your graphic image is wider than their screen resolution, they are stuck using the scroll bar to view the site.

I choose to use a 800 pixel width image and use a background for resolutions greater that 800 pixels. This way I can accommodate the folks that still use low resolution monitors.

To properly accomplish this feat, you would capture their screen resolution and load the proper width Header image. This also entails using multiple Header images, one for each different resolution that you plan to support. When I find 26 hours in a day, I shall tackle this problem!
