MY transparent header is causing cls issues

evrytime i reload my page the header loads as non transparent then changes. this is driving me crazy ive spent the last couple days leering code trying to fix this but is seems impossible. add margins, remove padding, shrink announcement bar nothing helps luckily i found this code:

svg.spinner {
display: none!important;
}

which removes the giant loading bar but still there is giant white space when loading the page

my site is https:\shopretrograde.com

Hi @Poorfellow89 ,

Please send me the code of announcement.liquid file, I will help you change it.

This could be caused by the slideshow’s CSS being loaded after the site had loaded

do you mean announcement-bar.liquid? if so here that is

Hi @Poorfellow89 ,

Sorry for the confusion, it is the header.liquid file. :blush:

ok i updated the above post

Hi @Poorfellow89 ,

Please change code here:

Code:

{{ 'component-list-menu.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-search.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-menu-drawer.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-cart-notification.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

after installing the code and waiting a few minutes it seem the issue is still there

Hi @Poorfellow89 ,

Please change code:

{%- if settings.predictive_search_enabled -%}
{{ 'component-price.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- endif -%}

{%- if section.settings.menu_type_desktop == 'mega' -%}
{{ 'component-mega-menu.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- endif -%}

from my end it still deosnt look like anything changed

Hi @Poorfellow89 ,
