# header avoids overflow

 * Hi,
 * pictures/ elements are not able to overflow the header area (e.g. if pictures
   from content blocks are shifted into the header). This is needed for a transparent
   navigation menu effect. Is there any tweak to make this work? That would be great,
   as this is a major design element of my (current) site.
 * I tested it with another theme (Mythos from Themeum) with the same background
   and color settings, and there this does work.
 * Best regards

 * Hi,
 * I appreciate your immediate response to the bunch of questions I had.
 * This transparent header thing is for me the most and only critical one in using
   this theme (off canvas page templates are automatically generated when Qubely
   is installed), so it would be great to know a best guess availability.

 * I don’t really understand what do you mean from “off canvas page templates” –
   what are those OFF CANVAS templates? A screenshot will be great.

 * Some themes are naming page layouts when without header and footer that way (
   e.g. in Elementors theme Hello etc.), as well as the Gutenberg Plugin “Qubely”
   creates automatically 2 additional pages templates (“Qubely full-width” and “
   Qubely Canvas”) even with your theme…I think just Canvas is right (not off).
 * So I am able to create post and pages with and without header and footer also
   with your theme now, so the only urgent feature remaining is the possibility 
   to overfllow the header section.
 * Sorry for the confusion

 * Well that’s the point, I was thinking of something else when you called those
   pages OFF Canvas templates… No I understand you.
 * We are working on the transparent header functionality but this option will be
   available in Blocksy Pro only.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Cheer.

 * First off all, Blocksy seems to be well coded and fast (checked it with yellowlab.
   tools, and Page Speed against other up to date Gutenberg themes), so it would
   be great for me to stick to it. Is there any information about the pro version
   somewhere (can not find it on your website)?
 * And in the meanwhile, is there any code snippet I can use to enable overflowing
   the header section?

 * We are still working on the Pro version, maybe the first pro release will be 
   available in about 1-2 months.
 * Sorry but unfortunately there is no way to make the header absolute at the moment.
   
   We will come with a well polished solution only in the pro version.
 * Let me know if you have any other questions.

 * Found a solution to make it work, with background color settings including header,
   and content overflows header (transparent header effect), it is something like
   this:
 * // Background color for my homephage
    .page-id-1907 { background: #A01430 !important;
 * }
 * // a page, where the content did not overflow yet:
    .page-id-8 #primary { margin-
   top:32vh; overflow:visible; }
 * // header settings
    header { position: absolute!important; width: 100%; z-index:-
   1; }

 * Hey [@vallered](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallered/) glad that you 
   found a way 🙂
    Soon we will release a solution where you won’t have to do this
   from css.
