How can I make my fixed menu in Webflow invert colors when scrolling over sections and their images? I've tried using custom code but it doesn't seem to work.

TL;DR
  • Set up a fixed menu and sections, then use the Interactions panel to create "Scroll Into View" and "Scroll Out of View" triggers.
  • Configure animations to invert the menu's background color when sections scroll into view and revert when scrolling out.

You're looking to make your fixed menu invert colors when scrolling over different sections with images in your Webflow project. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this without custom code using Webflow interactions.

1. Set Up Your Sections and Fixed Menu

  • Ensure your fixed menu is properly set up in the top layer of your Webflow site.
  • Add sections to your page where you want the menu to invert colors.

2. Create Interaction Triggers

  • Select a section where you want the color inversion to occur.
  • Go to the Interactions panel on the right.

3. Configure Section Scroll Into View Interaction

  • Click "+" next to Interactions to create a new Element Trigger.
  • Choose Scroll Into View under the Element Trigger options.
  • Set an Animation for when the section scrolls into view (e.g., named "Invert Colors In").

4. Set the Invert Colors Animation

  • Create a new animation for the trigger.
  • Add an Action for your menu element.
  • Choose Background Color and set it to the inverted color you desire (e.g., black to white).
  • Add a keyframe for this background color change.

5. Configure Section Scroll Out of View Interaction

  • In the same section, add another animation for Scroll Out of View.
  • Set an Animation for when the section scrolls out of view (e.g., named "Invert Colors Out").

6. Set the Revert Colors Animation

  • Create a new animation for this trigger.
  • Add an Action for your menu element.
  • Choose Background Color and set it back to the original (e.g., white to black).
  • Add a keyframe to revert the color change.

7. Apply to Multiple Sections

  • Repeat the above steps for each section where you want the menu colors to change.

Summary

To make your fixed menu invert colors when scrolling over different sections in Webflow, use the Interactions panel to set "Scroll Into View" and "Scroll Out of View" triggers that change your menu's background color. Set this interaction up for each relevant section to achieve the desired effect without custom code.
