How can I apply a gradient to the body background in Webflow without it being applied to each section?

To apply a gradient to the body background in Webflow without it being applied to each section, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the body element:

• In the Webflow Designer, make sure you are on the page where you want to apply the gradient.
• Open the Navigator panel on the left side of the Designer.
• Locate and click on the "Body" element.

1. Access the background settings:

• In the Style panel on the right side of the Designer, click on the "Background" section to expand it.

1. Choose the gradient type:

• Click on the "Gradient" option to open the gradient picker.

1. Customize the gradient:

• Adjust the gradient stops by clicking on the color stops below the gradient picker and choosing your desired colors.
• You can also adjust the opacity, angle, and type of the gradient (linear, radial, or angular) using the options provided in the gradient picker.

1. Apply the gradient:

• Once you are satisfied with the gradient settings, click outside the gradient picker to close it.

1. Apply the gradient only to the body element:

• By default, the gradient will be applied to all child elements of the body. To restrict the gradient to the body element only, you need to override the inherited background setting for each section:
  • Select each section individually.
  • In the Style panel, go to the Background section and set it to "None" (transparent) or choose a solid color that matches the gradient.
  • Repeat this process for all sections on the page.

By following these steps, you will be able to apply a gradient to the body background in Webflow without it being applied to each section. This approach allows you to have full control over the background design while keeping the sections separate and independent.
