Ryan - <br><br>I am not reading this will be presented as a requirement. I have also recommend that it be presented as a suggestion to the Theme author as I agree with Chip's observation that the author understands the end-users may want to customize the theme and making use of the custom header iamge functionality would be an easily implemented solution.<br>
<br>As to the example of your preference I can understand your concern, but from my experience "removing" custom header image code from a theme has generally been nothing more than commenting out a few lines.<br>
<br>This is not "forcing inane requirements on people", but a recommended suggestion with examples on how core WordPress functionality can be implemented.<br><br><br>Cais. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Ryan Hellyer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ryan@pixopoint.com">ryan@pixopoint.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I don't think that should matter. If the theme developer doesn't want<br>
their end-users having to have a custom header link in their theme,<br>
they shouldn't have to IMO.<br>
<br>
I made a site for someone last night for example, and changed the<br>
header image for them. There's no way I would have chosen a theme<br>
which had a customisable header image as that would have required me<br>
having to go in and mess around ripping stuff out of the theme. It's a<br>
pain in the neck and a time sink just to do something simple like<br>
remove an image when all I needed to do in the theme I chose was to<br>
change a single image.<br>
<br>
By forcing inane requirements on people you are stifling innovation<br>
and making it awkward to create the themes people want. Best to let<br>
theme developers create the theme they intended for their end-users,<br>
not the one that fits a rigid set of arbitrary rules.<br>
