Here you can insert CSS selector (*class* or *id*) of your website menu. For example `.site-header` This option will *invert colors* in the website menu. 

Each slide can *invert colors* individually. To set this for each slide go to ***Slide1 -> Advanced*** and check ***Invert menu colors*** option. 

These setting gives you possibility to make fullscreen sliders more readable if the website menu is displaying over the Slider content.
