Hi there! I've recently switched to Practicality and have again encountered Dreamwidth's love of putting text over a header banner, as shown here, top right: Photobucket (click the thumbnail for a bigger view).

I'm not fantastic with HTML and CSS, but I know it's there somewhere, where I can put the header banner as a background image and move everything down, but I can't remember where to find that bit of code or how to alter it.

This isn't just an issue with Practicality, it occurs in every DW layout I've used: the Customize area allow for a link to a banner, but the text in that box won't move down, despite the user filling in the height of the banner, so the end result is a clash of text and banner that is frankly ugly. Would it be possible for someone to look into this and change the behaviour of text in the topbox? Or is that too big an ask, as it affects pretty much all DW layouts? I wouldn't know where to post such a suggestion, myself, and as I've said, I know next to nothing about coding.

Thanks for your help!
