Problem with a line under a top section in mobile view

 If you noticed that line under contact and social icons in mobile view are not equal you have two options to choose from: 

  • Hide that line at all
  • Keep that line stright

In both you need use extra custom CSS to improve it:

To disable/hide those lines from mobile view. Use following CSS code:

@media (max-width: 840px) { 
#sp-top-bar .sp-column {border-bottom: none; }
}

But if you need this line, and you want to keep it use:

@media (max-width: 840px) { 
#sp-top-bar .sp-column {border-bottom: none; }
#sp-top-bar {border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);}
}

With line design problems on desktop view, use also this line:

#sp-top1 .sp-column {padding-bottom: 8px !important;}

How to change background color under menu

Many users ask us: How to replace/change background color used under menu and logo (header) when you'd scroll down the page. Default color there is navy blue with transparency level.


We understand that in many cases you want to use your own background color based on colors taken from logo or corporate identity manual. It's very easy to change. Header use background color based on RGBA colors (CSS rule). Here is example custom CSS code modification to replace from navy blue into green:

#sp-header.menu-fixed {background: rgba(32,112,41,0.95);}

Custom CSS code in Helix3 based templates should be used in one of following locations:

  1. custom.css file  (a new file) must be located here: templates\shaper_floox\css\custom.css
  2. In Custom CSS code field inside Floox Template settings.


How to change background color overlay for headers

I guess you are wondering: How to change background color overlay for headers used on subpages.

We used an extra background layer based on CSS rules only. It means that you can use your own background color, based on HEX and opacity level. 

Here are example modifications (different bg color), look at the screenshot below:

 div.sp-page-title::before {
    opacity: 0.7;
    background: #83BB35;}

 Transparency layer (no bg color):

div.sp-page-title::before { opacity: 0; } 

Custom CSS code in Helix3-based templates should be used in one of the following locations:

  1. custom.css file  (a new file) must be located here: templates\shaper_floox\css\custom.css
  2. In Custom CSS code field inside Floox Template settings.
