Change header background color

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

How can I get the header on the index (home) page to have a transparent background so the photos are layered behind the text, while maintaining the white background on the other four pages and the fixed position overall?

I'm using the Miller template, and the site is http://iggyrabinovich.com/

Thanks!

I'm wondering if there's a way to do a solid colored header background using the Avenue template.  Site is www.mvcchurch.org.  Thanks in advance!

Add to Home > Design > Custom CSS

/* check by tuan */
/* fullwidth header - background color */
#canvas {
    max-width: 100% !important;
}
#header {
    margin: -85px -75px;
    padding: 10px 75px !important;
    background: gray;
}

replace gray with white

Thank you so much for your help! 

When I copied your code in, it didn't work as intended. I tweaked some of the parameters to get the logo and menu back to where they should be, but the header is limited to the box around the content.  Screenshots attached

Your header isn't fullwidth, so it is difficult to set background color. See screenshot below

Hi @tuanphan I am trying to make this change for the Haute template. I want the current transparent header to have a white background. Have tried a few snippets, but no luck so far. Is there an easy fix to make this adjustment? https://outpostlongwharf.squarespace.com/config/

 

Add to Page Settings > Advanced > Header

<style>
  header.Header.loaded {
    background: white !important;
}
  main#main {
    margin-top: 100px;
}
</style>

@tuanphan Can you share the code on how to make the fixed header on the home page only transparent in 7.1? And then show as a color on scroll?

Thank you!

Hey @tuanphan I actually figured it out. This is what worked for me:

<style>
.header-announcement-bar-wrapper {
  background-color: transparent !important
  }
.header-announcement-bar-wrapper.shrink {
    background-color: #533181!important;
  }
</style>

Hello @tuanphan

I am having the question about trying to get the header on the index (home) page to have a transparent background, while having a black background on the other pages. I am using a theme called Hester on 7.1.

Would really appreciate the support if you have the time!

Thank you!
