Modifying the default Odoo theme header

When you install the basic Odoo theme, you will have a default Odoo header that has a navigation menu with the company logo. We can create an XML file that will extend the theme. Begin by creating a file named Layout.xml and placing it inside the views folder:

<odoo> 
   <data> 
     <template id="custom_header" inherit_id="website.layout" name="custom Header'> 
       <xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header" position="attributes"> 
       <attribute name="id">custom_message</attribute> 
       </xpath> 
  <xpath expr="//div[@id='wrapwrap']/header/div" position="after"> 
    <div class="container"> 
      <div class="alert alert-info mt16" role="alert"> 
        <strong>Welcome to Silkworm! </strong> 
      </div> 
    </div> 
  </xpath> 
     </template> 
   </data> 
</odoo>
