make dropdowns transparent for header

Topic summary

Goal: Align navigation dropdown menus with a transparent header in the Shopify Dawn theme so both appear transparent.

Issue: When the header is set to transparent, the dropdowns remain opaque, creating a visual mismatch. The merchant shared their site URL and screenshots illustrating the problem.

Current state: The merchant reverted the header back to non-transparent because it looked bad, so the issue isn’t visible on the live site. The helper could not verify the problem and shared a screenshot of the current non-transparent state.

Latest request: The helper asked the merchant to temporarily re-enable the transparent header so they can inspect the live CSS/HTML and provide guidance.

Attachments: Screenshots are central to understanding the visual discrepancy.

Outcome/status: No fix has been provided yet. The thread is awaiting the merchant to reapply the transparent header so troubleshooting can proceed; no code changes or solutions have been proposed so far.
