Yes, the appearance of the lightbox in Webflow can be customized using the built-in styling options or by adding custom CSS. Here's how you can customize the appearance of the lightbox in Webflow:

  1. Styling options in the Webflow Designer:
  • Select the lightbox element on your canvas.
  • In the Style tab of the right sidebar, you can modify various visual aspects of the lightbox, such as its background color, border, padding, and typography.
  • You can also style the close button, navigation arrows, and caption text using the same techniques.
  1. Customizing with CSS:
  • If you want more advanced customization options that are not available in the designer, you can use custom CSS.
  • Select the lightbox element on your canvas.
  • In the Style tab, click on the "+ Add custom CSS" link at the bottom.
  • Enter your custom CSS code to override the default styles of the lightbox.
  • You can target specific elements within the lightbox using CSS selectors, modify their appearance, and add animations or transitions if desired.

Here are a few examples of how you can customize the lightbox appearance using CSS:

  • Change the background color:
.w-lightbox {    background-color: red;}
  • Modify the close button style:
.w-lightbox-close {    color: white;    font-size: 24px;    padding: 10px;    background-color: black;    border-radius: 50%;}
  • Customize the navigation arrows:
.w-lightbox-nav {    color: blue;    font-size: 32px;}

Remember to prefix your custom CSS classes with .w-lightbox to ensure they only affect the lightbox element and not other elements on your page.

In summary, the appearance of the lightbox in Webflow can be easily customized using the styling options in the Webflow Designer or by adding custom CSS code. This allows you to create a lightbox that aligns with your website's design and branding.
