 * Hey,
 * Can change the background color of the menu and add an overlay to it? I tried
   adding it in the theme editor (site-header), but it didn’t work.Thanks

 * Hi
    You may add the following style to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS
   in order to add background color with transparency to the header:
 *     ```
       header.site-header {
           background: rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
       }
       ```

 * Thanks! That worked perfectly. Also, I’m using a plugin to make the menu stick
   to the top when scrolling. Can that be done without the plugin as well?

 * Hi [@kushtevatia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kushtevatia/),
 * As a rule such plugins ask to indicate the class or ID of the element that you
   want to make sticky. Try to indicate `.site-header` or `site-header`.
