Is it possible to change the color of the 'slider-nav-circles' in Webflow before export?

Yes, you can change the color of Webflow’s built-in slider-nav-circles before export by targeting them with custom CSS or adjusting Webflow styles. Here's how to do it effectively.

​

1. Understand What slider-nav-circles Refers To

• Webflow automatically adds a class called w-slider-dot to the circular navigation dots (commonly referred to as slider navigation circles).
• You'll need to target the correct class either directly in Webflow’s Designer or through custom code before export.

​

2. Restyle Using Webflow Designer

• Webflow’s Designer does not expose the w-slider-dot class directly in the Navigator.
• To style the dots through Webflow UI:
• Select the Slider Element in the canvas.
• Go into preview or select the dot nav container in the Navigator panel.
• Click on an individual dot (you may need to right-click and choose Select Parent/Child Element).
• Once a dot is selected, add a custom class to it (e.g., dot-custom) using the Selector field.
• Now you can change its background color, size, etc. via the Style panel.

​

3. Using Custom CSS Before Export

If you prefer or require CSS changes before exporting:

• Use Webflow’s Page Settings > Before </head> tag or Embed element to add a <style> block.
• Example inline style change:
• To change the background color of selected and unselected dots:
  • Unselected dot: .w-slider-dot { background: #ccc; }
  • Selected dot: .w-slider-dot.w-active { background: #000; }

​

4. Consider State Styling

• Webflow does not directly allow state-specific styles (like “active”) on auto-generated classes like w-active.
• You must use custom CSS to style .w-slider-dot.w-active for selected dots.

​

Summary

You can customize the slider navigation circles in Webflow by selecting the dots and assigning a custom class in the Designer or via custom CSS targeting w-slider-dot and w-slider-dot.w-active before exporting your site files.
