As seen on [Smartthings](http://community.smartthings.com/categories) forum and [hairxhub](https://talk.hairxhub.com/c/celebrities-hair), you can add an image on the header depending on the tab or the category the user is in.
For example, if the user enters in [forum.com/c/examples](http://forum.com/c/examples), he can view the image on the header, but not in all the other tabs/category, nor in the main homepage.
Does someone know how to do this? We can pay for this customization if there is someone interested.
Thanks!

This is pretty cool β¦
The way they do it is by adding CSS to their site.
They tie the image to the body as a background image.
They use this css as base
[https://hairxhub.com/hair-talk-forum-css/style.css](https://hairxhub.com/hair-talk-forum-css/style.css)
Then they add custom CSS for each of their categories to display a different image..
(or in CSS terms)
```
body.category-hairstyles { background-image: url(/some-image.jpg); }
```
So if youβre comfortable with CSS, you can hack this on your own π

Thanks @sigurdur!
I thought they had done some ember.js hack, if it is only a CSS customiz. we can do it π

Hah .. seems like I have some things to learn about discourse ..!
You can add background images directly for a category .. you can see how here:
