TABLE OF CONTENTS


Before we begin

  • Make sure you are using SharePoint Online (Office 365) or SharePoint 2019 environment.
  • Make sure you are using Modern SharePoint experience.
  • It is important to always have the latest version installed. Visit our Download ShortPoint page and get the latest version of ShortPoint.
  • Make sure you are a ShortPoint user with an active license.

Step 1. Prepare the Custom CSS solution


For disabling SharePoint shy header behavior, you will need to use this custom CSS code:


.shortpoint-proxy-theme-site-header [class*="mainHeader"] {
    position: relative !important;
    animation: none !important;
}
.shortpoint-proxy-theme-site-header [class*="logoCell"] {
    margin-right: 20px !important;
}
.shortpoint-proxy-theme-site-header [class*="shyHeader"] {
    display: none !important;
}


Copy it and proceed to the step 2.


Step 2. Apply the Custom CSS from the ShortPoint Theme Builder


Open the ShortPoint Theme Builder (Site contents > ShortPoint Dashboard > Theme Builder) 


In the Theme Builder menu, navigate to Utilities:


Go to Utilities


Select Custom CSS: 


Go to Custom CSS


Paste the copied CSS code from the step 1 to the Custom CSS field, and click Apply:


Paste the custom CSS code


Save your customizations by clicking Apply (1), then Publish (2) button.


Click Apply and Publish button
