Header
Section overview
The theme header section renders the site header for navigation and key actions. It supports background media, flexible row or column layouts, and separate default and overlay style states for color and border behavior.
Common use cases
- Building global header navigation and utility actions.
- Configuring different visual states for default and overlap scenarios.
- Arranging header content in row or column-based layouts.
- Managing responsive visibility and spacing for header content.
Usage tips
- Keep logo and navigation hierarchy clear before adding additional header blocks.
- Verify default and overlay color combinations against banner-heavy pages.
- Test row and column alignment choices on mobile and desktop breakpoints.
- Use block wrap carefully to avoid crowding in narrow viewports.
