To remove the default greyish gradient styling from a select element in Webflow, you need to customize its appearance using Webflow's Designer and custom CSS.

1. Customize with the Designer

  • Open the Designer and select the select element from your page.
  • In the Styles panel, modify properties such as Background Color and Border to set the desired appearance.

  

2. Add Custom CSS

  • Go to Project Settings, then proceed to the Custom Code tab.
  • Within the Inside <head> tag section, you can add a small snippet of CSS to target the select element:
  • Use inline background properties: background-image: none; to remove the gradient.
  • Also, consider specifying -webkit-appearance: none; and -moz-appearance: none; to ensure consistency across browsers.

  

Example CSS

  • Within the Inside <head> tag section, enter:
  • <style> select { background-image: none; -webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; } </style>

3. Publish Your Changes

  • Publish your site to ensure that all custom code is applied and viewable in the live environment.

Summary

To effectively remove the default gradient on a select element, utilize both Webflow's Designer and custom CSS through the Project Settings Custom Code section. By overwriting default browser appearances and removing the background image, you can achieve a consistent and styled look.
