Header Settings

Here we have listed the header and other settings for your header, we have tried to illustrate so it would be more easy for you to understand. Please keep in mind that each post type has it’s own Header Settings (on the Parameters and Options area) which will overwrite the current settings you may have set in the Theme Options, so when you make some changes to your site and can’t see them live in your site, make sure you edit that page to see if there are any header settings under it.

  1. Navigate to Laborator > Theme Options
  2. Select Header and Menu from the option list.
  3. Choose Header Settings in the tabs section.

 

Header Position

Kalium can position the header in two forms, the:

  1. Content Below (Static) — default, the content will show below the header.
  2. Over the Content (Absolute) — usually used for sliders, when the header will show above the slider.

 

Header Vertical Padding

Set padding in top and bottom of the header to match the style of your site, if you do not set any value the default value is 50, the unit is in pixels (view image image):

 

Full-width Header

The header can be in two width options, within a grid and centered or full-width and from one edge of the window to the other.

You can enable the full-width header by simply ticking the Extend header container to the browser edge

The differences between a header within the grid and a full-width header is explained in the image below:
