Layout and style

Header

Theme retirement | Context 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.

Match the look of your brand by changing the style and layout of your Header menu and store title. Change the position of your menu links or display them in a drawer menu that can be opened by clicking a Menu icon (☰).

Inline links

On desktop devices with Inline links enabled, Context's header displays your menu links horizontally. This setting is most effective with a few top-level menu items with short titles. If there are too many items in your navigation, we recommend setting the Style to Menu icon.

The Menu icon always appears on mobile devices, but you use the Style option display it at all times. When customers click the menu icon (☰), the drawer menu opens.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

Click on the Header section to open the section settings.
Set the Header style to display your main menu as Inline links or show a Menu icon (☰) to place your links in a drawer.
To customize colors for drawers, go to your theme settings and open the Color tab.
Choose an Alignment for your header on desktop. Either Left or Right.
(Optional.) Use the Logo image file selector to select or upload your logo file.
We recommend using a logo with a transparent background (PNG format).
(Optional.) If you added a logo, use the Custom logo width slider to change size of the logo in the header.
(Optional.) Select a Sticky header logo image to appear in the header when the page is scrolled down.
We recommend using a logo with a transparent background (PNG format).
Click Save.

Settings reference

Click on the Header section to find the following settings:

Setting	Description
Main menu	Select a menu to be displayed in the header. Menus are a Shopify feature. See Shopify's Menus and links guide to learn more.
Style	Choose a menu style: either Menu icon (☰) or Links. On mobile devices, the style is always set to Menu icon.
Logo image	Select or upload an image to be used as the logo in the header. 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).
Logo max width	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.
Sticky header logo image	Select or upload an image to be used as the logo in the header as you scroll. If you don't upload a logo, the space appears blank. We recommend using a logo with a transparent background (PNG format). Because the sticky style of the header is smaller, we recommend using a smaller logo or icon for this spot. If your menu is longer (more than 5 items), you may not want to use a logo here, because the menu items could overlap the logo space.
