• Q: Is the Bar Responsive?

  • A: Yes.

• Q: Can the bar be closed?

  • A: Yes.

• Q: Is it Possible to remove the line under bar?

  • A: Yes, in the bar’s edit screen set the color option of the line to the same color as the bar’s background.

• Q: Can the bar remain at the top of the screen when I scroll?

  • A: Not right now, this may be added later. But there is nothing stopping you from archiving this effect by adding a bit of CSS to your theme. You can target the bar using it’s ID #ehu-bar
