Finding the Style Panel
To access the Style Panel in Webflow, you need to be in the Designer view. Once you have opened your project in Webflow, click on any element on your page.
You will notice that a panel appears on the right side of the screen. This is the Style Panel.
Tip: If you can’t see the Style Panel, make sure that you have selected an element on your page.
Overview of the Style Panel
The Style Panel is divided into different sections that correspond to different aspects of styling. Let’s take a closer look at each section:
Typography
The Typography section allows you to control the font family, size, weight (boldness), style (italic or normal), letter spacing, line height, and text alignment of your selected element.
Background
The Background section lets you set a background color or image for your selected element. You can also adjust properties like background size and position.
Borders & Shadows
In this section, you can add borders around your element and customize their size, color, and style. You can also add shadows to create depth and dimension.
Effects
The Effects section provides options for adding additional visual effects like opacity (transparency) and blend modes to your elements.
Layout
The Layout section is especially useful for controlling the position, size, and spacing of your element. Here, you can set properties like margin and padding.
Transforms
The Transforms section allows you to apply transformations to your element, such as rotation, scaling, skewing, and translating (moving).
Applying Styles
To apply styles using the Style Panel, simply select an element on your page and navigate through the different sections. You can adjust the properties using sliders, input fields, color pickers, and dropdown menus. As you make changes in the Style Panel, you will see them reflected in real-time on your page.
Tip: You can also copy styles from one element to another by selecting an element with the desired style and clicking on the “Copy Styles” button at the bottom of the Style Panel. Then select another element and click on the “Paste Styles” button to apply those styles.
