Bleeding Page Headers

A bleeding page header is a page header that bleeds to the edges of the screen. It is essentially a combination of Page Header and Bleed. Typically, bleeding page headers are combined with the grid to create a variety of flexible header styles for landing pages.

When to Use a Bleeding Page Header

Bleeding page headers should be used only on landing and homepages. Typically, these will be the pages linked in the section's navbar. The bleeding page header + .bg-photo combination is typically used for homepages. The hex header option should be used sparingly for landing pages that need to stand out.

Default Settings

Default settings for bleeding page headers:

  • 50px of padding on top and bottom
  • Increased bottom margin of 50px to separate from page content
  • Links and text use the on-dark option
  • Hx headings use the light heading option to lightent the font weight to 300.
  • A transparent PNG hexagon background texture image, which allows the background color to be set by theme or forced colorization.

Theming and Colorization

Bleeding page headers are heavily affected by theme. The following colors are overridden by theme:

  • Background color set to theme color, darkened
  • Panel backgrounds become theme color, darkened, and translucent
  • If the .hex-header option is used, the hexagon will be filled with a theme color generated gradient

Use the theme switcher on the right to see how bleeding page headers are affected by theme changes.
