Small design add in HEADER!

Topic summary

Goal: Add vertical black bars in the site header (per attached image) on Nattstudios.com, positioned closer to the center.

Initial attempt: CSS added to .header__inline-menu (border-left/right: 1px; width: 100%; text-align: center) within a min-width: 990px media query.

Result: The vertical lines did not extend fully up/down, and alignment toward the center was not achieved.

Follow-up 1: Proposed removing header padding (padding-top/bottom: 0) to help borders reach the edges. The requester declined, wanting taller lines without making the header smaller.

Follow-up 2: Proposed adjusted paddings (header padding 16px; inline-menu padding 8px). Testing showed no improvement; the lines still weren’t tall enough.

Current status: Unresolved. The requester wants the black vertical lines to be taller (full height) and more centered, without changing overall header size. The reference image is important to understand the visual target. No final CSS solution or decision reached; next steps remain open.

Please add the following CSS code to your assets/base.css bottom of the file.

@media screen and (min-width: 990px) {
    .header__inline-menu {
        border-left: 1px solid #000 !important;
        border-right: 1px solid #000 !important;
        width: 100% !important;
        text-align: center !important;
    }
}

Thanks!

The lines didn’t go down/up all the way, also I want it more towards the center! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d rather not make the header smaller but the lines longer.

Tried it, didn’t solve the problem!

As I said, I’d like to make the black lines taller not change the header size!
