How to Work With Header Transparency in Avada Layouts
When creating Headers with the new Header Builder, in Avada Layouts, one thing that might not appear obvious, is how to make the Header transparent (or semi-transparent).
It’s actually very simple. Let’s look at a couple of scenarios, and how to achieve them.
Fully Transparent Header
Step 1. To start, in your Header Layouts Section, set the transparency of the desired Header Container to full transparency, by setting the alpha channel to zero.
Step 2. Go to the Extras tab, and turn the Position Absolute option to On, as seen below.
That’s it.
If you then place a background image, or color, in the top Container in the page content, not in Layouts, then this content will slide in under the now transparent header, as seen below.
Semi Transparent Header With Gradient
Step 1. To start, set the Header Container Background to Gradient. In the example below, the top gradient has been set to white at 94% opacity, and the bottom gradient has been set to fully transparent.
Step 2. Again, in the Extras tab, the Position Absolute option has been turned to On, as seen below.
As a result, the header has an almost solid white at the top of the header, quickly graduating to fully transparent. You can adjust where the opacity starts and ends, and how smoothly it graduates, with the Gradient Start and End Position.
