To access and make changes to the "w--current" class in Webflow for your website, follow these steps:

Open the Webflow Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and select the project you want to work on. Navigate to the Designer by clicking on the "Design" tab at the top of the page.
Select an element with the "w--current" class: Go to the web page where you want to work with the "w--current" class. Select the specific element that has the "w--current" class applied to it. This class is typically automatically added to navigation links or other active elements when the page is being viewed.
Inspect the element: After selecting the element, right-click on it and choose the "Inspect" or "Inspect element" option. This will open the browser's developer tools, allowing you to view and modify the HTML and CSS of the selected element.
Find the "w--current" class in the HTML: In the developer tools, locate the selected element in the HTML panel. Look for the class attribute within the HTML code and find the "w--current" class. You can also search for it using the Find function (Ctrl+F or Command+F).
Modify the "w--current" class: Once you've found the "w--current" class, you can modify it in the HTML panel. You can add additional CSS properties or change existing ones to customize the appearance or behavior of the element when it is active. For example, you can adjust the font color, background color, or add transitions and animations.
Apply the changes: After making your desired modifications to the "w--current" class, you can exit the developer tools by closing the panel or pressing the Esc key. The changes you made to the class in the HTML will be automatically applied to the element on your website.

Remember that modifying the "w--current" class can affect all elements on your website that have this class applied. If you only want to target specific instances of the "w--current" class, you can use more specific CSS selectors in the designer's style panel.
