Changing the color of an SVG icon in Webflow when hovering over it

Changing the color of an SVG icon in Webflow when hovering over it can be achieved by using custom code and interactions. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Prepare your SVG icon:
  • Make sure your SVG icon comes with a CSS class or an ID. You can add these directly to your SVG code or in Webflow's SVG Editor.
  • You can also use an external SVG file by uploading it to your assets in Webflow.
  1. Add the SVG icon to your Webflow project:
  • Drag and drop an Embed element onto your Webflow page wherever you want the SVG icon to appear.
  • In the Embed element settings, paste your SVG code or specify the path to your external SVG file.
  1. Customize the SVG icon's color:
  • Select the SVG icon element on your Webflow canvas.
  • Open the Style panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
  • Modify the fill property of the SVG icon to change its color.
  1. Add a hover interaction:
  • Select the SVG icon element on your Webflow canvas.
  • Open the Interactions panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
  • Click the "+" button to add a new interaction.
  • Choose the "Hover" trigger from the dropdown menu.
  • Click the "+" button next to the "Hover In" section to add an action.
  • Choose the "Set element style" action.
  • In the "Set element style" action settings, modify the fill property to change the color of the SVG icon on hover.
  1. Preview and test:
  • Preview your Webflow project to see the hover effect in action.
  • Make sure the SVG icon color changes as expected when you hover over it.

By following these steps, you'll be able to change the color of an SVG icon in Webflow when hovering over it. Remember to customize the CSS class or ID of the SVG icon and adjust the fill property in both the default and hover states to achieve the desired colors.
