`position: fixed` is very troublesome in some ways because it’s pretty much blind to everything except the viewport.

Instead you can [decorate](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648#heading--4-c-6) the header-bottons widget with something like this in the header section on desktop (mobile has no space for this)

```plaintext
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">
api.decorateWidget("header-buttons:before", helper => {
  return helper.h("span.header-links", [
    helper.h(
      "a#library.lc-menu.custom-header-link",
      {
        href: "https://company.com/",
        target: "_blank"
      },
      "Name."
    ),
    helper.h("span.powered-by", "Powered by"),
    helper.h(
      "a.custom-header-link",
      {
        href: "https://company.com/"
      },
      "company"
    )
  ]);
});
</script>

```

and a little bit of SCSS for padding and colors:

```plaintext
.header-links {
  padding-right: 0.5em;
  .powered-by {
    padding: 0 0.25em;
    color: foobar; // <-- change text color
  }
  .custom-header-link {
    color: foobar; // <-- change link colors
  }
}

```

that should be enough to create something like this:
