Yes, you can customize the icons for each "slide ball" in Webflow's slider by manipulating the exported code. Here is how you can do it:

Export the Webflow project: Export your project by going to the Webflow Designer, clicking on the "Export" button in the top-right corner, and selecting the "ZIP" option. This will download a ZIP file containing all the necessary code and assets for your project.
Extract the ZIP file: Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
Locate the slider code: In the extracted folder, navigate to the folder that contains the exported code for your slider. This can usually be found in the "assets" or "js" folder.
Open the slider code file: Open the slider code file using a text editor of your choice (e.g. Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, etc.).
Find the icon element: Search for the HTML element that represents the slide ball icon. This can usually be found within a
or element and will have a class or ID associated with it.
Replace the icon code: Replace the existing code for the icon with your desired icon code. You can use third-party icon libraries (e.g. Font Awesome, Material Icons) or custom SVG icons.
Save the changes: Save the modified code file.
Replace the old code with the new code: Replace the old slider code in your website's codebase with the modified code file.
Upload the changes: Upload the updated website files to your hosting server.
Test the slider: Visit your website and test the slider to see if the customized icons are showing as expected.

Keep in mind that when you make any changes to the exported code, you won't be able to modify it directly in the Webflow Designer. You'll need to repeat the process of exporting, modifying, and re-uploading the code each time you want to make changes to the slider's icons.
