How to Add a Transparent Header (Page by Page)
Applies only to the Home page and Category Landing Pages.
Assumes the Hero section and background image are already in place.
Step 1 – Design the Non-Transparent (Default) Header
Set the default header appearance using the Theme panel.
- Go to the Home page
- Open the
Theme panel
- Set:
- 6 – Header BG to a dark background color
- 7 – Header Text to a light text color (usually white)
- 10 – Navigation BG if needed, for the menu background
- Do
not apply background colors directly to header sections or columns.
- If you want to wrap the logo in a colored background:
-
Desktop
- Click the logo
- Use the breadcrumb bar to select IC - LOGO BG
- In the Design panel, apply background color and adjust spacing if needed
- Tablet
- Click the logo
- Use the breadcrumb bar to select C - LOGO
- Apply background color in the Design panel
- Mobile
- Click the logo
- Use the breadcrumb bar to select IC - LOGO
- Apply background color in the Design panel
Step 2 – Set Hero Padding
Adjust the top padding of the Hero section to clear the header.
- Click the Hero section
- In the Design panel, set top padding to:
- Desktop: 320px
- Tablet:
150px
- Mobile: 200px
- Adjust further if needed to create clean spacing under the transparent header.
Step 3 – Enable the Transparent Header
- Hover over the header until the orange Advanced Header label appears
- Click it to open the settings in the right panel
- Scroll down and enable:
- Overlap 1st section on page
- Set as sticky header
- Change header on scroll
- Set the
Background on scroll to match the default header background color (the same as Theme > 6 – Header BG)
- Leave the
Header overlap background
as transparent (should be set by default)
Step 4 – Adjust Hero Padding as Needed
- Review the site in each device view (desktop, tablet, mobile).
- If the header overlaps the content too much or too little, fine-tune the Hero top padding.
Repeat on Category Landing Pages
- Repeat Steps 2 through 4 on each Category Landing Page.
- There is no need to redo the Theme settings — those apply globally
-
Scroll behavior settings carry over, but the Hero spacing must be set per page.
