Customizing the Header Section in Docy Theme Articles and

Introduction Looking to modify the header section in your Docs or articles when using the Docy theme for WordPress? Many users want to personalize this area by removing illustrations, changing colors, or setting background images. This post provides clear instructions on how to achieve these customizations, along with tips on handling light and dark mode appearance issues.

Docy makes it easy to customize the ‘Search Banner’ (the prominent header section in articles and documentation pages). Follow these steps:

• Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
• Navigate to Docy > Theme Settings > Header > Search Banner.
• From here, you can:

A common issue arises when customizing the header for one color mode (e.g., dark), only to find it adversely affects visibility in the other (e.g., light). For example, text or menu items may become hard to read when switching modes. Currently, the Docy theme’s ‘Search Banner’ offers global settings—so colors and elements set for dark mode may not look as expected in light mode, and vice versa.

• Workaround: Optimize for the primary color mode your site uses most (dark or light). Clearly test all changes in both modes to ensure legibility and usability.
• If deeper customization per mode is needed (e.g., different background images or colors for each mode), you may consider using custom CSS or child theme overrides. Consult Docy theme documentation or contact support for advanced guidance.

If you require private assistance or advanced customization help, the Docy support team is available via email. For privacy-conscious users, direct communication ensures your queries are handled confidentially and efficiently.

In summary: Customizing your Docy theme’s header section is straightforward through Theme Settings, but light/dark mode support requires extra attention. For complex needs, don’t hesitate to reach out to the theme support directly.
