Navbar Color Change Upon Scroll

Why Change Navbar Background Color on Scroll?

Changing the navbar background color on scroll can significantly improve your website’s design by:

• Enhancing Readability: A transparent navbar might look great at the top of the page, but as you scroll down, a solid background can make the menu items easier to read.
• Highlighting Navigation: It helps to draw attention to the navigation bar, making it easier for users to find their way around your site.
• Adding a Professional Touch: Dynamic changes like this can make your website look more modern and polished.
