Transparent Header
The header starts transparent on top of the page's first section, then becomes solid (your header background color, with a shadow) once the visitor scrolls — the "seamless hero" look.
Enable it
- Open any page in the editor and select the header (it's a global partial, so this affects all pages).
- Turn on Transparent Over First Section?.
- Optional: turn on Make Logo White While Transparent? if your logo is dark — it renders the logo white until the header turns solid.
Which pages it affects
The effect only activates on templates built for it — Home 3 through Home 7. Interior pages, the blog, and system pages keep the normal solid header even when the setting is on, so it's safe to enable site-wide.
For developers: to opt a custom template in, add
header-transparent-page to the template's template_class. The first section should be a full-bleed hero, since content flows underneath the navigation.Tips
- Navigation links are white with a subtle shadow while transparent — use hero images/overlays dark enough to keep them readable.
- Inside the page editor the header stays solid so editing is never white-on-white.
- Works alongside the existing Fixed Header Navigation option.
