FAQ

Will the banner hide my content

The banner automatically detects its own height and applies padding to the top or bottom of the page to make sure no content is hidden.
If you have other fixed elements on your page (like a menu bar or header) that sticks to the top/bottom of the page – you can override default z-index and padding by using CSS to target class hdsb-t-active or hdsb-b-active.

What font does the banner use

The banner font is Arial, which is universal font, available on all devices.

Works as advertized. Would be great to have a cross to hide the bar, to add CSS to customize the font, the button shape, the text and button colors separately, and the bar height. Pretty cool already !
