I am having a heck of a time getting this to work like I intend and it's driving me insane. I am sure there is a simple solution, but if so, I can't find it.
I am trying to make a home page with a carousel that fills the entire viewport, with a navbar that has a transparent background and is centered at the top of the page and overlapping the carousel.
I have gotten the carousel working correctly and have the navbar functioning over the carousel, but I cannot for the life of me get the navbar to center on the page.

html,
body {
font-family: "Roboto Slab", serif;
}
.navbar {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: 10;
}
.navbar li {
display: inline-block;
}
.navbar ul {
display: inline-block;
}
#homeCarousel {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#homeCarousel .carousel,
#homeCarousel .carousel-inner {
max-height: 100vh;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#homeCarousel a {
width: 20px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
