Header Settings
The Header contains the navigation links to your store. It also includes your logo, the search bar, the cart icon, and the login icon, if enabled. The Header renders across the top of the screen.
Frame
Set up section
- Click the Header section to open its settings in the side panel.
Logo
You will see two options in the logo settings: Logo and Logo inverse. Frame needs these two versions of the logo because the header background color changes when customers scroll down. By default, the header background changes from a dark color to a light color. If you don’t add a logo, the store name will appear by default. We recommend a PNG image with a transparent background and a minimum width of double your desired display size to accommodate retina screens.
- Under the Logo section, click Select image and use the file selector to select an image from your library or upload a new logo file. We recommend a logo with strong contrast against the background color of the Header before scrolling.
- Under the Logo inverse section, click Select image and use the file selector to select an image from your library or upload a new logo file. We recommend a logo with strong contrast against the background color of the Header while scrolling.
- Use the Custom logo width slider to make your logo larger or smaller. On mobile devices, the maximum logo width will be sized to fit the screen.
- Use the Desktop logo position selector to select the logo's position: Top center, Top left, or Middle left.
- Click Save.
Navigation
- By default, the Main Menu will be selected. If you would like to change this, click Change and then Change menu.
- The Secondary menu will only be visible on mobile devices. This menu allows the user to quick select common pages like My Account or Returns. By default, the Footer menu will be selected. This menu is optional.

- The Highlight menu titles option is useful when you want to highlight a sale collection or an important page. Use commas to support different links (e.g. Sale, New). Please note: the menu title is case sensitive and must be written in the same case as the source menu name in your Shopify Admin.
- Use the Highlight color option picker to select the color you would like to highlight the menu titles.
- Click Save.
Honey
Set up section
- Click the Header section to open its settings in the side panel.
Logo
You will see two options in the logo settings: Image and SVG. Adding your logo in SVG format allows you to change the logo's color dynamically based on the background color of the page while an image will not have this flexibilty. If you don’t add a logo, your store name will appear by default.
If you are using an image, click Select image and use the file selector to select an image from your library or upload a new logo file. We recommend using PNG format with a transparent background and a minimum width of double your desired display size to accomodate retina screens. We recommend a logo color with a strong contrast against the background color of the Header.
- If you are using an SVG format logo, Honey will change the color automatically based on the header background color. To learn more about this option please visit SVG logo.
- Use the Custom logo width slider to make your logo larger or smaller. On mobile devices, the maximum logo width will be sized to fit the screen.
