I would like to present a stylish header.

More and more web pages have a header which doesn't disappear completely, when you scroll down.

Examples:
http://designmadeingermany.de/
http://itsmassive.com/
http://canvas.is/

This is missing in the countless RW Themes.
Or such a stack "all over all" would not be bad. :)

    If you are looking for a fixed header that spans the width of the site, and are willing to use Freestack for your theme, it's pretty easy. The topic was discussed on this thread. http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/53303/
    I've got a site with that approach that is mentioned on the thread I linked to. There is a little code you need to add to the page inspector, and you will need seeInvisible's CSSPro stack.

    Because you need the header to break outside of the content area, you will need that extra code to get the stack to fill the total browser window width.

    Hi Ron, thanks for your answer and the link.
    But, what I mean is more than just a fixed header (Spatium is such a Theme).



    I header that scrolls for half. :)

    I mean a banner / extra content before the navigation,
    when you scroll down only the banner goes away,
    but the Nav stays up, then the content scrolls below.

    Two different "scroll areas": the header and the content.
    Don't know how to explain it, but this is a good example: http://designmadeingermany.de/

    The same techniques would do everything you want, if you want to build it yourself with a few stacks. You would only need to change what you put there from the example I gave to achieve the same thing. Extra content is not really a valid term outside of pre-built themes, because you start with a blank canvas in Freestack, which is what I was suggesting.

    If you are looking for a pre-built, turnkey approach, only themes are able to offer that with the way things stand at the moment.

    Ron, i'm looking for a solution, which scrolls the header only up to a certain point.

    You know how to integrate it into a theme?
    (e.g. /themeflood/freethemes/Unofficial-SDK)
