Hi @twacomm-store , go to edit code > assets > base.css and add this:

.header-wrapper--border-bottom{
background:#a01f1f!important;
}

[twacomm-store]

Thank you so much for your reply. I tried that but made the header a different color and not just the menu. Any ideas. Thanks again for your help

[MarinaPetrovic]

Yeah, I though that you meant menu background. 😂
Go to edit code > assets > base.css and add this:

.header__menu-item span{
color:#a01f1f;
}

[twacomm-store]

Well were getting there. Now it just made the text red, but not the navigation bar.

@twacomm-store , well that's specific. You have to share url so I can send you the code. 🙂

Thanks you much Marina for your help! I really appreciate it!

No problem, go to edit code > assets > base.css:

.header__inline-menu{
background:#a01f1f;
}

[twacomm-store]

That worked!!!! Your the best! Do you know how to make the menu bar full page?

Hi @twacomm-store , go to edit code > sections > header.liquid and look for this:

<header class="header header--top-left page-width header--has-menu">

Remove 'page-width'.

Hi @MarinaPetrovic, I am trying to do the same thing as @twacomm-store did. I managed to change the color to white, but can't get the menu bar to be full page. 

It seems as if the code in the latest Dawn theme version might be a little bit different. 

Any ideas how to get the menu to be full page? Thank you.

<header class="header header--{{ section.settings.logo_position }} header--mobile-{{ section.settings.mobile_logo_position }} page-width{% if section.settings.menu != blank %} header--has-menu{% endif %}">

Hey @Boky , please share URL so I can take a look. 🙂

Thanks for the fast response. I've sent you a PM.

Hey @Boky , go to edit code > sections > header.liquid, look for this:

 <header class="header header--{{ section.settings.logo_position }} header--mobile-{{ section.settings.mobile_logo_position }} page-width{% if section.settings.menu_type_desktop == 'drawer' %} drawer-menu{% endif %}{% if section.settings.menu != blank %} header--has-menu{% endif %}">

replace it with:

 <header class="header header--{{ section.settings.logo_position }} header--mobile-{{ section.settings.mobile_logo_position }} {% if section.settings.menu_type_desktop == 'drawer' %} drawer-menu{% endif %}{% if section.settings.menu != blank %} header--has-menu{% endif %}">

After that go to assets > base.css and add this:

.header__inline-menu{
width:100%;
text-align:center;
}

Hi @MarinaPetrovic - do you know how to change the color of just one item in the header navigation? I want my 'sale' section to be red, but keep all my other navigation headers black.

Thanks!
