Creating a franken-layout

[sally_maria]

I like the colours and images in Koi, the Wide Open layout, but I prefer to have my entries and sidebar modules more clearly defined. So I had the bright idea of trying to use them in an Abstractia layout (Au Lait, to be precise, as the colours seemed to match best.)

I can change the background easily enough - you can see it on sally_test but even though I have the file name for the header image, putting it into the header box on the Abstractia layout doesn't seem to do anything.

Am I attempting something beyond the powers of man? or is it just something obvious that I've missed.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Well, I can tell you it's not you - I just tested it on one of my journals with a different image and it doesn't show up either.

Abstractia is a nonstandard layout, which means it has a lot of from-scratch code - I suspect something in the header image code got messed up, though I'll have to dig farther into the code to see.

From what ninetydegrees says above, it seems like a known bug.

Thank you for very much for looking into it and the reassurance, though. It seemed like it ought to work, but I'm never sure I'm not missing something obvious.

Yeah, sometimes having the extra bug confirmation helps :)
