Header
Lorenza's header appears at the top of each page. You can customize it to fit with your brand and product offerings.
On mobile devices, the header shrinks down into a floating menu bar::
Set up the header
The header has a number of settings. This section walks you through each one, and what it does. Note that we'll skip the Add mega nav button until later on in the article.
To set up the header:
Settings reference
Lorenza's header has the following settings:
Header style
Choose a menu style: either Menu icon (☰) or Inline links.
If your menu has too many inline links to be displayed, the menu becomes scrollable.
On mobile devices, the style is always set to Menu icon.
Navigation alignment
Choose how the navigation items should be aligned in the header. Either Left, Center, or Right.
Alignment will only apply if header style is Inline links.
Enable menu length detection
Enable this feature to automatically switch the menu style to the mobile navigation if the menu is too wide for the header.
Show language selector
Let customers switch languages from the header.
You can learn more about offering your store in multiple languages by reading Shopify's Selling in multiple languages guide.
Show currency selector
Let customers switch currencies from the header.
You can learn more about offering your store with multiple currencies from Shopify's Sell in multiple currencies with Shopify Payments documentation.
Logo image
Select or upload an image to be used as the logo in the heading.
If you don't upload a logo, the name of your store appears instead.
We recommend using a logo with a transparent background (PNG format).
Custom logo size
Select the display width, in pixels, of your logo image.
Your logo height is scaled to match the width. You can use this setting to make the logo super tiny or super huge.
Main menu
Select a menu to be displayed in the header.
Menus are a Shopify feature. See Shopify's Menus and links to learn more about them.
Transparent header
You can make your store's header transparent. This is great for stores that want to push big, bright product photography.
In this image, you can see the transparent header enabled, helping the Slideshow section section below to pop out.
To set up the transparent header:
Settings reference
The transparent header has the following settings:
Enable on home page
Select this checkbox to enable the transparent header feature.
Logo image
Select or upload a logo image to be used on the transparent header.
This logo is only used when the header is shown as a transparent header. Scroll up to the normal header settings to pick the normal logo.
Text color
Select a color to be used for all text in your header.
Make sure the text is readable against your top-most home page section's background colors, images, or video.
Border color
Select a color to be used for all of the borders and lines in Lorenza's header layout.
Border opacity
Use the slider to set the border opacity: where 0 is invisible and 10 is completely opaque.
Mega nav
From Lorenza's header settings, you can add a mega navigation menu. Using this menu, you can add more links to your main menu. Your customers can browse large catalogs more quickly and more easily.
Each mega nav menu has up to three columns of sub-menus.
On mobile devices, mega nav menus appear as nested drawers: :
The mega navigation menu makes use of your existing Main menu. You can nest sub-menus inside of your menus, which is what makes mega navigation menus so mega.
Here's an example of a main menu with nested menus within it, as shown in the Shopify admin::
You can add one or many mega navigation menus. Our Lorenza demo, Chic has a mega nav menu enabled under the Shop menu item.
Here's a quick video tutorial on how to set it up:
Before you start
Make sure your main navigation menu has nested menus with in. You can add or change menus from the Navigation page of the Shopify admin.
This feature makes use of nested menus. So your menu would look something like this:
Where Shop, Collections, and Favourites each turn into a menu column. And the items below (for Collections, that would be Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall), each belong to the parent item's column.
