# Transparent header

{% hint style="danger" %} <mark style="color:red;">Theme retirement</mark> Ira is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. **Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024**. [Learn more here](/ira/readme/theme-retirement.md).
{% endhint %}

Make your store's header transparent on your Home page and collection pages to display the full height of your [Slideshow](/ira/sections/theme-sections/slideshow.md).

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;">STEPS</mark></summary>

In your theme editor (**Customize**):

1. Click the **Header** section and scroll down the the **Transparent header** settings.
2. Check the **Enable on home page** and/or **Enable on collection pages** checkbox to turn on the transparent header.

   > Ensure that you have a Slideshow section as the first section.
3. Choose the colors (**Text color**, **Icon color,** and **Border color**) that should be used for the header content.

   > These colors will need to contrast with your slides or video to ensure visibility.
4. Use the **Border opacity** slider to make the border more or less visible.

   > *0* is completely invisible and *10* is completely opaque.
5. Add a **Logo image** to be used specifically with the transparent header.

   > Use an edited logo image with alternate colors to contrast with your slideshow images. For example, you may need a dark-colored version of your logo to look good on light-colored backgrounds.

   > This image only displays when the header is transparent. Your main logo image will automatically display when the header is no longer transparent.
6. Click **Save**.
