🤔 How to Set up a Sticky header?

The Sticky Header feature enhances your website's navigation experience by ensuring that the header remains visible as users scroll through the content. Follow the steps below to set up and customize the Sticky Header according to your preferences.

Within the Header section in Theme Editing, locate the Sticky Header settings.

You'll find a dropdown menu that allows you to select how the sticky header appears on your website. You can choose from:

  • Disable (None): Turn off sticky header.
  • Enable: Opt for scroll-triggered sticky, always sticky, or always sticky with a reduced logo size.

🤔 How to Set up a Transparent header? 

The Transparent Header lets your header sit directly over the top of your page content with a see-through background, so a full-width banner or hero image runs right up behind it.

STEP 1: Open the settings

In the Theme Editor, click on the Header section and find the Transparent header settings group.

STEP 2: Choose where the transparent header applies

  • Tick “Enable on homepage” to apply it to your homepage.
  • Tick “Enable on collection page” to extend it to collection pages.
  • Use the new Custom pages menu picker for any other pages - see Step 3.

STEP 3: Apply it to your own list of pages (new in 10.3.0)

The Custom pages setting doesn’t take a list of pages directly - it takes a menu, and applies the transparent header to whatever that menu links to. So you build the list as a navigation menu first:

  • In Shopify admin, go to Content > Menus and create a new menu - for example “Transparent header pages”.
  • Add one menu item linking to each page that should use the transparent header. You don’t need to show this menu anywhere on your store - it’s only used as a list.
  • Back in the Theme Editor, set Custom pages to the menu you just created.
  • Visit each page to confirm the transparent header applies.
⚠️ Note: Only top-level menu items are read. Items nested inside a dropdown are ignored, so keep every link at the first level of the menu.

STEP 4: Upload a transparent logo

Still within the Transparent header settings, find the “Logo (transparent)” option and upload the logo to use while the header is transparent. This is usually a lighter version of your logo that reads well over an image.

STEP 5: Click “Save” and preview each page.

💡 Tip: Use a logo file with a genuinely transparent background (PNG or SVG) for the cleanest result, and check it against your darkest and lightest banner images.

🤔  How to set up the behavior to expand your menu?

You can choose how your dropdown menu opens when customers interact with it. Eurus offers two options: On Click or On Hover.

In Shopify admin, go to the Theme Editor by clicking on Online store > Themes > Customize.

Step 2: 

Find the Header area and tap on the Header section, you will see a new panel appear,

Step 3:

Within the menu setting, you should find a setting labeled Dropdown Menu Trigger.

Step 4:

Choose how you want the menu to open:

  • On click: Customers must click a menu item to expand the dropdown. If the item has a link, clicking again will navigate to that page.
  • On hover: The dropdown opens when customers hover over a menu item.

Step 5:

Click Save to apply your changes.
