Going to appearance -> header is a standard that everyone gets to know jumping from theme to theme. If you have it in your options, it's not the 'likely' place people look for it since it's standard to change it in the appearance -> header. Keeping things consistent is more important then extra clicks.<br>

Subject: [theme-reviewers] Theme options quandary<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
I've got a theme that I'm working on that I would like to provide some options for. I know that using the built in Custom Header and Custom Background options are preferred for those customizations, but I would like to provide the ability to customize the background color (not an image) of the header, an option not provided by the built in functions. Do I do this via a second theme options page and provide the rest Custom Header functionality via the built in function? Or, do I consolidate all the customizations on to one theme options page and ditch the built in Custom Header page?<br>
<br>
>From a WordPress best practices perspective, I think using the built in Custom Header function would be the way to go, but from a usability perspective this seems confusing. I know I wouldn't want to have to go to 2 or 3 different pages to change one section of the site. Any input?<br>
