To change the background of the hamburger menu in Webflow, specifically in tablet or phone view, when the States options do not help, you can utilize custom code or CSS styles. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving this:

  1. Identify the hamburger menu element: In Webflow, you can locate the hamburger menu element either within the Navbar component or as a standalone element on your page. Find the class or ID associated with this element.

  2. Access the custom code or CSS editor: In Webflow, go to the "Project Settings" in the Designer. From there, navigate to the "Custom Code" or "Custom CSS" section.

  3. Add a media query: To specifically target the tablet or phone view, use a media query to define the desired screen size. For example, if you want to target tablets, you can use the following media query:

@media (max-width: 991px) {  /* CSS styles for tablet view */}

Note: The (max-width: 991px) value may vary depending on your design and breakpoints.

  1. Customize the hamburger menu background: Within the media query, target the hamburger menu element by its class or ID. Then, apply the desired styling to change the background. Here's an example of how you can change the background color:
@media (max-width: 991px) {  .hamburger-menu-class {    background-color: #000000; /* Customize with your preferred color */  }}

Replace .hamburger-menu-class with the actual class or ID associated with your hamburger menu element. You can adjust the background color (#000000 in the example above) to your desired value.

  1. Save and publish: Once you have made the necessary changes, save and publish your site in Webflow. Preview the tablet or phone view to see the updated background of your hamburger menu.

By following these steps, you should be able to change the background of the hamburger menu in Webflow, specifically in tablet or phone view, even when the States options do not provide the desired solution.
