Hi again MLM 

I was wondering what's the best way to go about changing the default Pulse banner to a custom banner.

BTW: your smiley icons look so clear, can you tell me what the smiley set is called and do you know where can I download it?

Thanks again,
tripplex

Banner is located in: images/banner_area_banner.png

Just replace it with your banner (of course make sure it is the same name)

Default size is: 334 x 184 px

If you want everything to look good then keep the banner at 184px and you can go pretty far with width but note that it will wrap for smaller screens if it is too wide.
