Hi The menu block is Black with an opacity of 30% (or so). The problem is the "opacity: 0.3;" is a block level effect that also affect the white type too (so the type "menu items" are semi-transparent too.) Plus, the Menu items have also a ruleset of opacity too (80%) : .j-placeLinks li > a { color: white; display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; opacity: 0.8; overflow: hidden; padding: 9px 15px; position: relative; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; } So, the Header background will affect the lisibility of the type. You can reproduce this in Photoshop. I would recommend the JIVE coderzz to modify the Menu block to use as the (Follow link) a : background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .3) and remove the menu items opacity. Some info : CSS3 opacity property Another reminder, depending of your OS & browser(s) language, the text (and their container) will expand to fit the text. So, don't design too tight based on the english template (text/look). Pierre
