Twenty Thirteen: Header takes up too much space on mobile screens

[kwight]

The header has a minimum height of 230px pixels at all widths, including mobile. A smaller header could be combined with the reduced site title font to maximize space on small screens.

The header background image is forced to background-position: center in the patch, to increase chances of seeing something interesting at such a short image height.

I'd prefer to leave the design as-is -- but will loop back with Joen for a double-check on the design decision.

Just throwing it out there; it's always nice to see more content than header when arriving at a site on mobile.

I would second really this is a design decision. On an iPhone you get the header, menu/search and most of first post which to me seems reasonable and a design decision rather than issue.

Joen and I talked about it in the initial development phase and we agreed it to leave it the way it is. The header is only 230px high, which makes it the second-smalles among Twenties, and more importantly we didn't want to crop the background image horizontally, which would make it even harder than it is now for users to find a fitting image.
