Thanks Ismael- it worked perfectly!
Thanks Elliot.
Actually I want the background image to be there and not a solid color. I want the entire logo area to have a background image that is sticky and shrinks when the user scrolls down.
My second issue was the fact that now the header covers all of the pages. It was completely fine before the upgrade to the latest version of the theme. I am just assumming that the header css was written differently in this update.
Thanks for your help.
