May 15, 2025

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.
