How can I size main titlebar smaller yet allow larger logo?

[Ian]

See attached screenshot
I’ve uploaded a larger logo only to discover the primary menu titlebar area increases to the same height. Is there any way I can prevent this for logged in users and shrink it back to a thin line rather than the 2-3 inches it takes up now?

Hi @ianclayton, Please re-attach the screen shot.. The standard size of the logo is 280px by 80px so upload the logo with same size.

I’ve set the logo accordingly but as you can see the CSS inherits the 212px height across the board.

Is there any way to change the css to a less height for everything to the right of the logo – leaving the logo as is…

Hi @ianclayton, You can set the maximum height via css:

.site-header .header-inner {
    max-height: 72px !important;
}

Added suggested css code to custom css of Simple Leaner theme – no effect – this was what i had tries – it inherits 3212px from elsewhere – I think the logo area… am I doing something wrong – did it work at your end?

Hi @ianclayton, The image you are using is square image and the theme function auto grab the height according to the screen size as the standard size should be 280px in width and 80px height…logo and menu division are in same wrap so we can not force it to resize. I will have to discuss about it to our developers what we can do with Square logo.

Totally understand, but I feel the logo is something that is an important branding feature for many and constraining it to a 280×80 box because of the titlebar seems backwards and counter to how other themes work. Would appreciate anything you can do that allows us some additional flexibility here

Hi there!

We worked on this fix, and it will be available in the next Boss release. You can already test it by installing the development version of Boss, I’ll PM your a download link.

Let me know how it goes.
