Each Header sub-panel contains specific options that pertain to different sections and aspects of your header. There are 4 sub-panels under the Header panel located in the Avada > Theme Options > Header tab. These sub-panels are the Header Content sub-panel, Header Background Image sub-panel, Header Styling sub-panel, and the Sticky Header sub-panel. Continue reading below to learn about each sub-panel.

In this section, you can select your Header Position, Header Layout, and Slider Position settings. Depending on the options you select here, their respective dependent options will load and appear. For example, if you select the Top header position, then the Header Layout options will load and appear.

In this section, you can upload a background image for your header. If you have a Top Header set, then the Header Opacity located in Header > Header Styling must be set to 1 for the background image to display. If you have a Side Header set, then the Header Opacity must be set to transparent for the background image to display.

In this section, you can customize your main header’s appearance and style. For top headers, setting the background color’s opacity to below 1 will remove the header height completely. For side headers, setting the background color’s opacity to below 1 will add a color overlay over the background image.

In this section, you can enable or disable a sticky header and customize it’s features and appearance. You can choose to enable it on tablets and mobiles, enable the sticky header animation, set a header background color, set the sticky header menu item padding, and the sticky header navigation font size.
