How can I change my header background color full black?

Topic summary

Main issue: change the store header background to full black, with related style tweaks for footer, icons, and mobile layout.

What worked (via custom CSS in theme assets):

  • Header to black by targeting the header container (e.g., #header-navigation or Debut’s header selectors) and setting background-color: black. Icons set to white.
  • Footer background color changed by styling #shopify-section-footer.
  • Removed unwanted white space above footer by adjusting footer margin-top to 0.
  • On Debut (mobile), created a two-column footer using responsive CSS (50% width items).

Implementation details:

  • Edits made in Online Store > Theme > Edit code, adding CSS at the bottom of styles.min.css or theme.css depending on theme.
  • Images were shared to illustrate the header and footer areas, but the solutions relied on CSS changes.

Outcomes:

  • First store’s header/footer styling resolved; site ready to launch.
  • Debut store: color changes and two-column footer confirmed working.

Open items:

  • Debut: center the logo and move the menu icon to the left not yet provided; request to make the user login icon white remains pending.
  • Ride theme: keep only header/footer black without affecting body/product pages; no solution posted yet.
