cyclovfx Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Site URL: https://cyclovfx.squarespace.com Hello, I wanted to ask how I can have a different header style for my homepage. Which would be a Dynamic setting where I can have the background of the section below going into the header. But for other sites I would like to keep it as solid black. Link to comment

Transparent header when it is at the top of page and black solid when you scroll down, right?

Jennika Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 You can use a NOT selector to make adjustments to headers on every page that is not the homepage. Basically, you would tell it that every page NOT identified by the homepage ID gets a different header styling (in this case, a solid black). The CSS would look something like this. body:NOT([id*="123456789"]) { #header { background-color:#000; other classes and styles } } Link to comment

Is that correct? - I tried #collection-62c695b5e721f57173873af3 (which is the header id of the "home page" .. instead of id* - not sure what to change for "other classes and styles" body:NOT([#collection-62c695b5e721f57173873af3]) { #header { background-color:#000; solid } } Link to comment
cyclovfx Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I think I found a work around to my problem. Just added a empty section 1 row under the header. that way I could block the BG image from the section below, so it won't go into the header. It's not ideal (because it makes the header bigger) but for now it kinda works. 😄 Edited July 26, 2022 by cyclovfx Link to comment
Jennika Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Yes, with the NOT selector, it would look to see if the page ID matches the homepage. If it does not match the homepage ID, then it would add whatever CSS you've defined for the not homepage header. All of the style for the black header (not homepage) goes inside the body:NOT tags, similar to how you would style your normal header. Here is an example using just really basic styling. body:NOT([id*="collection-62c695b5e721f57173873af3"]) { #header {background-color:#000 !important;} #site-title {color:#fff;} .header-nav-item a {color:#fff;} } "Other classes and styles" meant you needed to add whatever ids (i.e. #header), classes (i.e. .header-nav-item a), and their associated styles (i.e. color:#fff;) to make the header look how you want. cyclovfx 1 Link to comment

If it does not match the homepage ID, then it would add whatever CSS you've defined for the not homepage header. A few small things worth adding for the benefit of anyone learning this: :not() is a pseudo-class. It is added to a selector to prevent specific items from being selected it is convention to write it in lowercase a Squarespace site's homepage has a "homepage" class, so it is usually easier to use this (.homepage) instead of the page's unique page ID. cyclovfx 1 About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.
