Transparent Header on Brine?!

Recommended Posts

How do you make the main header on Brine transparent? I know there is a button in the design settings on Bedford, for instance, but can't figure it out in Brine for the life of me. My client had a white header and now wants a transparent background. I set the header background to hsla(0, 0%, 100%, 0.05), which displays as transparent on the home page while working on it, but not on the live site.

Thank you!

I am using the Heights template. It has this transparent header and parallax, just like brine. When I go to edit the header and move the site title and primary navigation it creates a header with a black background. I can change the color of this background, but there is nowhere to select the transparency level. Entering the transparent value (0, 0, 100, 0.05) manually doesn't work either...

On the Brine template, you don’t need code to have a transparent header, you can achieve this in Site Styles by moving the header element positions. However, it’s not very intuitive.

In Brine, you can set the position of each header element. For example, you can set the site title to Top-Left, Top-Right, Top-Center, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right and so on.  If you set any header elements to a "Top” position they will appear with a solid colour header background. However, if all header elements are set to a "Bottom" position, they will float on the page, and you will effectively have a transparent header.

I've used this method to create a transparent header but it only works on the main Home Index page. All the other pages has the original white background. Great when I have a white page but not so great when I want a coloured intro section.

Is there a way to target the blog list page so I can have that as transparent too?

This code worked well to give me a transparent background on my top header, but now has caused the Search Bar in the top header to stop working. Any workarounds to this? 

header.Header.Header--top {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 999;
    background: transparent;
}
