You can make theMasthead transparent in Backlight> designer> templates> whatever page template you are using. Then in the Masthead section for background color pull down the drop down and make the color rgba(255,255,255,0) The zero on the end controls color opacity with 0 being transparent.

Um...when I click the link the browser times out waiting for a response. Anyone else?

Whoops. Spoke too soon. The problem was gone for awhile. Now it's back. So now I'm wondering what happens after cart is installed and sits for awhile? Does it make changes to the database? Or does something have to propagate through the site? Cuz it is pretty weird. Oh, by the way the site was also updated this morning to Backlight-pages 110, all without incident.

OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT.
Well, talk about operator error. Combing through the admin section I happened upon an incomplete setting (in red, pretty obvious) in a product's shipping charge. Wonder of wonders, when I fixed that the problem truly did go away (I Hope).

Have traced things back to July via subversion and can find nothing that fixes this issue. Would it be possible to re-install the cart module without wiping out all my products and pricing data? Or to put the question another way: is my cart data stored outside the cart module in such a way that re-installing cart wouldn't destroy it?

Reset cart?? No custom javascript, just the custom CSS. Did reset template cache and cleared browser cache. I also swore at it in Latin and German which is fun but not productive.

Found cart reset. Tried it. No go.

Not one to become a geek was I...but the power of the force of coding overcame me. I was drawn into the magical world of Pan's labyrinth, helpless in the grip of the force. Such beauty, such power in such a simple line of code. Clearly, it's too late for me. Save yourself now! Or surrender yourself to the power of code and step into a new world. Once seen, it cannot be unseen.

Really, just kidding. It's not that bad.

I'm adding it to my list of places to get to during my yearly swing though the desert Southwest. Have spent the last couple of years  , 5-6 weeks at time exploring there. Problem is there SO MUCH to see. I'm going to run out of life before I run out of subjects. I'm not the first person to have noticed this essential problem: the incredibly short duration of human life.

Cool! I like the multicolor masthead on the gray background.

Yes it's doable but only for desktop display. I don't think it will work on mobile. Just tried it on one of my active sites to be sure, but it just duplicates the menus in the header and in the tray. I don't see a way to make them different. In Backlight go to page template> design> navigation,header> display, On desktop. Then, under that: Navigation,Trays> display> always. To do what you want with fly outs in the tray but not in the header I think you'd have to get really creative with phpplugins, if it's even possible at all. Doesn't mean it can't be done, just means I don't know a way. Rod, on the other hand (he's secretly a wizard) might have some better ideas here.

Terry when I go to your site at the URL provided I'm redirected to http://www.wtgphotos.com. But I do see a page of images in masonry view. I Also see a big red error message at the bottom of the page that says this:

Something went wrong
Unexpected error: Module 'oci8' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Please report error at http://community.theturninggate.net

You'll need to wait for one of the guys with the brains for help with that.

Addendum: Poking around your site (nice work, by the way) when I go to your gallery page (the art), it seems I hit a dead end. The albums listed there don''t seem to go any further and have no thumbnails. Possibly redirected to an empty gallery?  Anyway hang out till someone with a bit more savy on this hits your post.
