Can I customize the color of the arrows or round buttons in the slider on Webflow, or do I need to replace them?

Yes, you can customize the color of the arrows and round navigation buttons in a Webflow Slider without replacing them. Here's how to do it properly using Webflow's Designer tools.

​

1. Customize Slider Arrows (Prev/Next)

​

• Select the Arrow Element by clicking directly on the left or right arrow in the Slider component.
• In the Style panel, you'll see options to modify its appearance.
• Change the Fill color under the Typography section if the arrow is an icon font.
• If it's using an SVG or background image and color can't be changed directly, you may need to replace the arrow with a custom image or icon.

​

2. Customize Slider Dots (Round Buttons)

​

• Select the Slide Nav element (the set of round buttons under the slider).
• Click into one of the individual Dot elements inside the Slide Nav.
• Under the Style panel, you can:
• Change the background color of the Dot (default and active states).
• Use States dropdown (top of the Style panel) to style the Current dot with a different color.

​

3. Use Combo Classes if Needed

​

• If you want different color styles on multiple sliders, create a Combo Class on the arrows or dots for each variation.
• For example, add a class like arrow--white to make the arrow white only on specific sliders.

​

4. Replacing Arrows (If Necessary)

​

• If you need custom styles not supported by default, you can:
• Hide the default arrows.
• Add your own Button elements with custom icons or SVGs.
• Use Interactions to trigger slide changes when those custom buttons are clicked.

​

Summary

​

You can style Webflow Slider arrows and dots directly using the Designer. In most cases, you don’t need to replace them unless you want a completely custom look or SVG-based icons. Use class selectors and states like Current to apply targeted styles.
